O Olho de Vidro

Set against the bustling streets of 17th‑century Coimbra and the shadowy countryside of Vila Corta, the story follows a bright‑minded medical student named Francisco Luiz d’Abreu. Immersed in the ancient teachings of Galen, he spends long, sleepless nights poring over treatises on purgation while the world outside teems with superstition and whispered rumors. One stormy night his study is abruptly shattered by a sudden, inexplicable intrusion that thrusts him into a maze of hidden motives.

As the mystery deepens, Francisco discovers a strange glass eye—an object that seems to hold secrets far beyond its fragile surface. Drawn into a web of intrigue involving rival scholars, secret societies, and the enigmatic “Becco das Flores,” he must navigate danger with only his wits and fledgling medical knowledge. The novel blends vivid historical detail with suspenseful romance, inviting listeners to experience a Portugal where science and superstition clash in equal measure.
