The Fall of an Angel - Portuguese Collection 3

A satirical novel that caricaturally exposes the corruption of customs in 19th-century Portuguese society. Centered on the figure of Calisto Elói, *A Queda d'um Anjo* (The Fall of an Angel) traces the journey of a nobleman from Minho, a conservative defender of morality and good customs who, upon being elected to the Assembly of the Republic, loses himself in the charms of life in the Capital, which is contrary to the morality of rural and traditional Portugal. Calisto eventually abandoned the chaste life he practiced and preached to his peers. In addition to Calisto, other characters can be found, such as the adulterous woman or the corrupt deputy, etc. characters that we can still find correspondences with people who might be by our side today
