Summary "Noites de Insomnia, Offerecidas a Quem Não Póde Dormir" by Camillo Castello Branco is a literary work resembling a historical account and storytelling, likely written in the late 19th century. This collection explores the lives and intrigues of notable figures, particularly focusing on various actresses of the 18th century and their connections to Portuguese nobility. The narrative seamlessly blends biography with commentary on social issues. The opening of the text introduces three actresses—Petronilla, Gamarra, and Zamperini—famous for captivating Portuguese audiences and simultaneously garnering the affections of the aristocracy, including King D. João V. The narrative sets the stage for exploring their scandals and romantic entanglements while critiquing the moral standards of the time. Each actress's story is woven with layers of fame, fortune, and personal betrayal, reflecting the complex dynamics between female performers and male patrons in a society where appearances and reputations hung by a thread.
