Tales

Summary

Fialho de Almeida’s first book of stories, published in Porto in 1881, brings together thirteen tales, including The Redhead, Always Friends, The Uncle from America, and The Convent Miracle. They are early, vivid, and at times sentimental portraits 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.
