Contos Phantasticos

Rate this book
Coletânea de contos com temas de paixões frenéticas, conducentes a suicídios, mortes, traições, renúncias extremas. Uma das primeiras incursões, feitas por um autor português, no universo da literatura fantástico-gótico, muito pouco comum em Portugal na época. Anteriormente publicados no Jornal do Comércio e na Revista Contemporânea de Portugal e Brasil, estes ditos contos góticos de Teófilo Braga, refletem no autor uma direta influência de literaturas de Hoffman e de Edgar Allan Poe, tal como seu conhecimento da filosofia esotérica de Swedenborg. Estes contos trouxeram, entre nós, muitos aspectos inovadores, pela introdução na narrativa, dos finais de 1800, de elementos como o estranho, o misterioso, o sinistro e o macabro.

Muito inconstante, tem alguns contos bons mas a maior parte está afogado por uma linguagem extremamente floreada que não faz nada por mim.

When I bought this book in 2019, I lacked the maturity to read it...
