Camilo Castelo Branco
''Folhas cahidas, apanhadas na lama por um antigo juiz das almas de Campanhan'' is a collection of poems written by an anonymous author, likely during the mid-19th century. The book captures the sentiments and experiences of a poet reflecting on the past, particularly focusing on themes of nostalgia, loss, and social commentary. It offers various verses that interweave personal memories with broader observations about contemporary society. The collection presents a multifaceted exploration of life in the village of Campanhan, interspersed with social critique of the nobility and the societal transformations of the time. Throughout the poems, the author characterizes figures from a bygone era, evoking a sense of longing for simpler times while satirizing the shortcomings of both the youthful and elderly members of society. The verses range from humorous to melancholic, illustrating everyday life, relationships, and the poet's existential musings. Overall, the work stands as a cultural artifact, shedding light on the social climate of 19th-century Portugal while providing readers with a lyrical and contemplative experience.
