Contos by Álvaro do Carvalhal

Álvaro do Carvalhal was a fleeting star in the landscape of 19th Century portuguese literature, having died in 1868 with just twenty four years of age. This book collects his short stories, all of them could be classified as gothic, some written with a vocabulary that forced me to use the dictionnary quite a number of times. A good reading though. The book finishes with a fifty pages enlightning biographical essay on the author by Gianluca Miraglia.
