| Summary |
"Transviado" by Jaime de Magalhães Lima is a romance illustrated with magnificent engravings written in the late 19th century. The narrative follows Claudio de Souza Portugal, a young man pondering through his experiences and encounters as he navigates between the charm of provincial life and the allure of broader horizons, particularly those of the vibrant Lisbon and beyond. The opening portion of the work introduces us to Claudio as he arrives at a small train station near Coimbra, where he unexpectedly encounters a couple, Ricardo and Emilia. Their interaction reveals Claudio's yearning for emotional connection and reflects on the stark contrast between the mundane life of the provincial town and his rich memories of travels and adventures in foreign lands. As the trio boards the carriage to return to Albergaria, the budding dynamics begin to unfold between Claudio and Emilia, who expresses a longing for city life, setting the stage for themes of desire, longing, and the complications of amorous relationships amidst the vibrant backdrops of both countryside and urban venues.
