Summary "A Cidade do Vício" by Fialho de Almeida is a collection of stories written in the late 19th century. The work juxtaposes the vibrant yet troubling life in Lisbon against the backdrop of rural life, exploring themes such as longing, debauchery, and human emotion through its characters and narratives. The author intricately paints the contrast between the bustling, often vice-ridden city and the tranquil yet burdened existence of the countryside. The opening of the narrative introduces a traveler who is both reflective and critical of the environment around him. He describes the oppressive heat of Lisbon, filled with imagery of decay and vice, before recounting his departure on foot into the less populated areas. This journey evokes a sense of freedom and existential contemplation, interspersed with memories of past acquaintances and reflections on societal norms. As he travels, he observes the landscapes of Portugal, the seasons, and the rustic way of life that unfolds before him. The writing employs rich and evocative language, immersing the reader in the sensory experiences of both the city and the countryside while hinting at the complexities of human desires and relationships.
