Inhaltsangabe
In The Glass Eye, Camilo Castelo Branco leads the reader into a darkly ironic tale of family secrets, religious persecution, moral corruption, and buried guilt. Set against the shadow of the Portuguese Inquisition and the decaying world of old aristocratic houses, the novel follows a chain of revelations that begins with a mysterious past and ends in spiritual anguish.
With his unmistakable blend of satire, melodrama, historical criticism, and psychological intensity, Castelo Branco exposes a society where appearances conceal cruelty, piety masks ambition, and memory itself becomes a form of punishment. At once tragic and biting, The Glass Eye is a compact but powerful example of nineteenth-century Portuguese fiction, filled with dramatic reversals, sharp social commentary, and the emotional force that made Camilo one of Portugal’s most enduring literary voices.
This English edition includes a translator’s preface, chapter-by-chapter translator’s notes, historical explanations, and an afterword designed to guide modern readers through the cultural, religious, and linguistic world of the novel.
Ideal for readers of classic European literature, Gothic-inflected historical fiction, Portuguese literature in translation, and morally complex family dramas.
