Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - A forgotten Portuguese classic of bloodline, desire, betrayal, and moral ruin.In The Blood, Camilo Castelo Branco turns the idea of family inheritance into a dramatic question: what truly passes from one generation to the next - virtue, shame, passion, or tragedy Set within the world of nineteenth-century Portuguese society, the novel follows Innocencio, Thomazia, and the figures drawn into their orbit as marriage, pride, jealousy, and social reputation collide. What begins as a story of lineage and domestic expectation gradually becomes a darker study of emotional violence, forbidden attachment, abandoned loyalties, and the terrible cost of human weakness.With his unmistakable blend of romantic intensity, irony, moral insight, and sharp social observation, Castelo Branco exposes the fragile foundations of respectability. In this new English translation, The Blood is restored for modern readers who appreciate tragic romance, European literary classics, family dramas, and psychologically rich fiction.This edition includes a translator's preface, editorial notes, chapter-by-chapter translation notes, and an afterword designed to guide contemporary readers through the historical, linguistic, and literary texture of the novel.For readers of classic European fiction, Portuguese literature, tragic romance, and nineteenth-century moral drama, The Blood offers a powerful encounter with one of Portugal's greatest novelists.…
