Camillo Castello Branco (Mártires, Lisbon, 16 March 1825 - São Miguel de Seide, Famalicão, 1 June 1890) was one of the greatest writers in the history of Portuguese-language literature. He was also one of the first writers to make a living exclusively from his writing in Portugal.
A controversial character, he was nevertheless admired by all the great figures of his time, and his exceptional work managed to rise him to the category of cult author. In fact, it's impossible to understand the Portuguese 19th century without considering his profound influence on the culture of the century of the locomotive, of newspapers and of a progress longed for by a people coming out of impossible wars and trying to rebuild their identity.
It is with genuine veneration for the master that we at ANNO celebrate the 200th ANNIVERSARY of Camillo, an author who touched on everything that matters in human life, from love to the deepest suffering; but who, above all, taught us how to write like no one else.
Happy birthday and thank you, golden writer.

Castello Branco, Camillo – O JUDEU. 2 vols. Porto. Viuva Moré. 1866. 262 pp.; 276 pp. 17 cm x 11 cm. E.
1.ª edição desta apreciada obra do áureo escritor, dedicada à memória do grande dramaturgo luso-brasileiro António José da Silva (n. 1705), consumido na flor da idade e no apogeu do seu génio pelas bárbaras chamas inquisitoriais a 19 de Outubro de 1739.
Bom estado geral de conservação. Encadernação meia-amador recente de boa feitura em tons encarnados. Ligeiramente aparados e com fitilho. O 1.º vol., apresenta ex-libris do engenheiro agrónomo Pedro “Alvellos”, um dos mais respeitados homens de letras da sua geração e um profundo conhecedor da vida e obra de Camillo no verso da pasta anterior; vinheta da sua célebre Livraria Camiliana na guarda de abertura confrontante. O 2.º vol. contêm apenas o ex-libris. Conservam ambos as raras capas de brochura, apostas a papel cartonado de reforço. Assinaturas de posse nas folhas de rosto. Interior com picos de acidez, como é habitual.
Muito raros.
