Summary

The first book of tales by Fialho de Almeida, published at Porto in 1881, gathers thirteen stories, among them A Ruiva, Sempre Amigos, O Tio da América and O Milagre do Convento. They are early, lively and sometimes sentimental pictures of love, money and small-town life. This book uses the racial and other slurs of its period as written; the Book Guide explains these words where they occur. This edition omits one or more passages describing sexual acts involving children; each omission is marked in the text. This book contains scenes of violence as its author wrote them.
