Biography
In the last years of his life, he went blind and shot himself out of desperation. He was the first to introduce a domestic novel into Portuguese literature. In politics, he had at first legitimist sympathies, but then he kept himself out of parties; never held any posts. He wrote about two hundred volumes of stories. This excessive fecundity is its main drawback: the result of hasteful work is some unfinished business, monotony, and frequent repetitions.
As a poet , playwright and satirist, Castelo Branco is not particularly distinguished, but his little novels and essays accurately convey pictures of the modern life of the Portuguese people and Portuguese society. His main works: "Scenas contemporâneas" ( 1862 ); Os brilhantes do Brazileiro ( 1869 ); Onde está a felicidade ( 1857 ); Novellas do Minho ( 1876-1877 ); Eusébio Macário ( 1880 ); Maria da Fonte ( 1885 ).
Castelo Branca is sometimes called the Portuguese Balzac .
