| Summary | "A Casa do Saltimbanco" by Mme. de Stolz is a fiction work written in the late 19th century. The story centers around a young boy named Adalberto, who enjoys a rich and idyllic childhood in the picturesque countryside of Normandy, filled with family, affection, and playful adventures. However, his disobedience leads him to a series of perilous events that see him captured and taken far from home, introducing themes of innocence, the consequences of misbehavior, and the struggle against adversity. The opening of the novel paints a serene picture of Adalberto's life in Valneige, where he lives a carefree life among his siblings, in a beautiful house with a lovely garden and ample countryside for exploration. It introduces key aspects of his character, including his imaginative play and the affection he has for his family, particularly his beloved sister Camilla and the caring Rosinha, the household's clock-like caretaker. As the narrative progresses, however, it foreshadows darker developments that will unfold due to Adalberto's tendency to disobey rules set by his parents, culminating in the harrowing adventure against which he must contend after he is snatched away into the life of a carnival performer.
