| Summary | "Agulha em Palheiro" by Camilo Castelo Branco is a novel written in the mid-19th century. The narrative begins in 1803 and revolves around the life of Francisco Lourenço Gomes, a talented and ambitious shoemaker in Lisbon who idolizes the poet Manuel Maria Barbosa du Bocage. Central to the story are themes of love, ambition, and the intersection of social class, particularly as Francisco aspires to become more than just a tradesman through poetry and personal connections. The beginning of the novel introduces readers to Francisco at eighteen, already managing his father's shoemaking business. His admiration for Bocage leads him to assist the poet by providing him with well-crafted boots, which in turn catapults him into the poetic circles of Lisbon. As he becomes increasingly invested in poetry and his feelings for his beloved, Maria Luciana, the narrative explores the tensions between his humble origins and his aspirations for a better life. This opening portion sets the stage for Francisco's internal struggles, societal challenges, and the hope that poetry and love bring to his life. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
