ABOUT THE WRITER...

João Batista da Silva Leitão de Almeida Garrett was a Portuguese legislator, poet e writer. Garrett played an important role as the initiator of Romanticism in Portugal and as a promoter of Portuguese Romantic Theatre.

Almeida Garrett is considered by many authors as the most complete Portuguese writer of the 19th century. His works essentially explore the themes of love and romance, a reflection of his troubled personal and romantic life.

However, Garrett also developed a political career in the period of the liberal wars, having been minister and peer of the kingdom and receiving the noble title of Viscount. During this period, he was forced to seek exile, where he met other authors from the United Kingdom and France who later had a strong influence on his works.

Some of his main works:

Camões (1825);
Um auto de Gil Vicente (1842);
Frei Luís de Souza (1844);
Viagens na minha terra (1843-1846);
Folhas caídas (1853).

“Beauty comes from love, / As light comes from flame. / It's a law of nature: / Do you want to be beautiful? - love." - Folhas caídas, Almeida Garrett.
