2025 marks the bicentenary of Camilo Castelo Branco.
Camilo Castelo Branco's writing is marked by emotional intensity, sharp irony and vivid portraits of 19th-century Portuguese society. His texts explore overwhelming passions, moral conflicts and family dramas, often with subtle criticism of social customs and hypocrisy. Mixing lyricism and humour, Camilo managed to alternate between the tragic and the satirical, creating narratives that still impress today with the strength of their characters and their ability to captivate the reader.
In this context, the FEUP Library has put together a collection of books on Camilo Castelo Branco for the month of October, which you can request on Floor 0.
On 2nd October, from 1.00p.m. to 2.00p.m, you can attend another session of the Reading Club, also dedicated to Camilo Castelo Branco.
