Summary "O Carrasco de Victor Hugo José Alves" by Camilo Castelo Branco is a historical novel likely written in the late 19th century. The narrative seems to revolve around the life of D. Maria José, a character who embodies the complex legacy of Portuguese royal lineage intertwined with themes of love, identity, and social status. The story delves into the struggles and societal perceptions her character faces due to her heritage and ambitions. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to a lively café scene in Lisbon in 1857, where various political discussions take place among a group perceived as republicans. The main character, José Parada, recounts tales of historical figures, highlighting the turbulent nature of politics and the rumors surrounding the legitimacy of royals, particularly mentioning D. Miguel de Bragança. This conversation leads to D. Maria José being revealed as a glove maker, which raises questions about her social standing versus her noble lineage. The narrative sets the stage for D. Maria José's internal conflict between her royal blood and her humble position, establishing a rich backdrop for her character's development and the interplay of love and ambition in her life.
