Four novellas by Camilo Castelo Branco from the first volume of the collection: Gracejos que Matam, set in the spa of Caldas de Vizela in 1851, O Comendador, O Cego de Landim and A Morgada de Romariz. Country manners, old rivalries and sharp love stories of northern Portugal in a style that is by turns comic and tragic.
