Historia alegre de Portugal: leitura para o povo e para as escolas

Manuel Pinheiro Chagas

1842–1895

A prolific 19th-century Portuguese writer, journalist, and public figure, he moved easily between fiction, theater, criticism, and politics. His career captured the lively literary culture of Lisbon, even as later generations remembered him in part through his famous disputes with Eça de Queirós.
