CAMILO CASTELO BRANCO, subsidies for a current reading

Reading as an update of beauty, as a revisitation of the era and history. The adventure of language and the derivations of the circulation of literary texts. The invitation comes from a title by Camilo: Onde Está a Felicidade? It is one of his first novels (1856), a narrative with a setting in Porto and the riverside (from Cedofeita to Miragaia, to the Ponte das Barcas disaster and even to the Candal refuge). An autobiographical dimension, a parody of costumes and an irony of Jesus, to be (re)visited.
