The novel by the Portuguese writer Camilo Castelo Branco (1825-1890) “The Fallen Angel” (1865) has not previously been translated into Russian; this is the first attempt at a scientific publication of one of the most famous works of the classic of Portuguese literature of the 19th century. In “Fallen Angel,” as in many of C. Castelo Branco’s novels, elements of literary play are combined with an ironic depiction of the author’s contemporary Portuguese reality. The use of “romantic irony” also allows C. Castel Branco to present a number of “vagrant plots” of European literature from an unexpected point of view. As a supplement to the novel, this edition publishes the short story “The Side Son” (1876) by C. Castelo Branco from the series “Short stories from the province of Minho.” This work, also published for the first time in Russian, is partly a rethinking of the plot of “Fallen Angel”.
