Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - A forgotten Gothic romance of jealousy, betrayal, and moral ruin from one of Portugal's greatest nineteenth-century novelists.In The Skeleton, Camilo Castelo Branco turns domestic drama into psychological tragedy. Nicolao de Mesquita, a man divided between pride, desire, and social appearan…ces, finds himself trapped in a marriage haunted by suspicion and emotional decay. Around him move Beatriz, Raphael, Margarida Froment, Ricardo de Almeida, and Martinho Xavier - characters bound together by passion, resentment, family honor, and the consequences of choices made in secrecy.With his unmistakable blend of irony, melodrama, social satire, and moral intensity, Camilo exposes the fragility of reputation and the hidden violence beneath polite society. What begins as a tale of love and wounded vanity gradually becomes a dark meditation on betrayal, guilt, punishment, and the terrible persistence of memory.This English edition presents O Esqueleto in a carefully revised literary translation, preserving the sharpness of Camilo's prose while making the novel accessible to modern readers. Complete with translator's notes, a preface, and an afterword, this edition brings renewed attention to a powerful and neglected work of Portuguese Romantic fiction.Ideal for readers of nineteenth-century literature, Gothic romance, psychological drama, and European classics.
