Sinossi
A lost jewel of Portuguese Romantic fiction, now available in English.
In early nineteenth-century Lisbon, Francisco Lourenço Gomes is more than a humble shoemaker: he is a man possessed by poetry, ambition, and the desire to rise beyond the limits imposed upon him by birth. His admiration for the celebrated poet Bocage draws him into a world where wit, vanity, social aspiration, and private sorrow are never far apart.
But the true drama of Needle in a Haystack unfolds through the next generation. Fernando, Francisco’s son, enters a wider European stage of exile, passion, secrecy, and wounded pride. His love for Paulina is tested by family ambition, aristocratic prejudice, political suspicion, and the cruel weight of social origin. Around them move fathers, suitors, diplomats, convents, letters, and reputations—each one tightening the moral and emotional knot.
Camilo Castelo Branco combines satire, melancholy, psychological insight, and dramatic irony in a novel that moves from Lisbon to Italy and beyond. At once a romance of frustrated love and a sharp portrait of class anxiety, Needle in a Haystack reveals one of Portugal’s greatest nineteenth-century novelists at his most elegant and incisive.
This edition presents a complete English translation of Agulha em Palheiro, with editorial care intended for modern readers while preserving the intensity, irony, and emotional cadence of the original.
