BRANDÃO (Raul). OS POBRES. Lisboa. 1906. - BRANDÃO (Raul) OS POBRES . Precedido de uma Carta-Prefácio de Guerra Junqueiro. Lisboa: Empreza da Historia de Portugal, 1906. XXIV-200-[4] pp.; 205 mm. First edition of this book of short stories written between 1899 and 1900 where, already at the height of his literary personality, Raul Brandão states: “both in the themes—misery, pain and dreams, life and death as mystery and absurdity, a hodgepodge where the base, the grotesque and the tragic are confused—and in the form, dispersive and tumultuous, already escaping the norms of genre and school disciplines” (Biblios, I, col. 762).
