Obras Completas de Júlio Dinis - Nono Volume

Daniel, the youngest son of a wealthy farmer, leaves the village carrying in his heart the image of his childhood sweetheart, Margarida. But this image is erased by the strong impressions he receives in the capital, and when he returns, it is Clara, Margarida's sister, who attracts his attention. However, Clara is also engaged to his brother Pedro… The novel that popularized Júlio Dinis, "As Pupilas do Senhor Reitor" (The Pupils of the Rector), paints a portrait of the Portuguese village that fueled the imagination of generations. Its unforgettable characters have become part of our cultural heritage: the good Rector of the village, José das Dornas, and his children, and especially João Semana, whose name became a symbol of the provincial doctor. Full of lively and picturesque dialogues, comical, fresh but at the same time timely and insightful, this is still an essential novel in our literature. A work for the whole family.
