As Tres Irmans: Romance is a novel written by the Portuguese author Camilo Castello Branco and first published in 1882. The title translates to The Three Sisters: Romance in English. The story follows the lives of three sisters, Maria, Emilia, and Adelaide, who live in a small village in Portugal. Maria is the eldest and most responsible of the sisters, Emilia is the middle sister and the most beautiful, and Adelaide is the youngest and the most innocent.The novel begins with the sisters' father, a wealthy landowner, passing away and leaving them with a large inheritance. The sisters must navigate their new lives as wealthy women in a society that is not always kind to them. Maria takes on the role of the head of the household and tries to keep her sisters safe and happy, while Emilia and Adelaide struggle with their own personal demons.As the story progresses, the sisters each fall in love with different men, but their romances are complicated by societal expectations and family obligations. Maria falls in love with a man who is not of her social class, Emilia is pursued by a wealthy and powerful man who may not have her best interests at heart, and Adelaide falls in love with a man who is already engaged.Throughout the novel, Branco explores themes of love, family, class, and societal expectations. The story is a poignant and emotional portrayal of the lives of three sisters in 19th century Portugal. As Tres Irmans: Romance is considered one of Branco's most popular and enduring works and is still widely read and studied today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
