Summary "O presbyterio da montanha" by Antonio Feliciano de Castilho is a unique literary work written in the early 19th century. It intricately blends elements of poetry, prose, and personal recollections, reflecting the author's deep connection with the rural landscape and its communities, particularly around the Serra do Caramulo in Portugal. The text captures both the beauty and the rustic simplicity of life in this mountainous region as well as the author's experiences and memories of his time away from urban settings. The opening of the book introduces the reader to Castilho’s perspective on nature, the authenticity of rural life, and the profound bonds formed within small communities. He describes his arrival at the remote parish of S. Mamede and the surroundings with vivid imagery, highlighting the contrasts between the inhospitable appearance of the land and the genuine hospitality of its inhabitants. The author reflects on his brother’s influence in his life and the charm of the pastoral settings, setting an introspective tone that indicates the main themes of nostalgia and appreciation for the simplicity of existence entwined with nature. Through poetic language, he invites readers to explore the values and traditions of the people who inhabit these forgotten mountains, making it evident that this work serves as both a tribute and a personal odyssey.
