Camilo Castelo Branco, známý jako jeden z nejplodnějších portugalských autorů, byl mistrem slova, který s neuvěřitelnou pílí tvořil v mnoha literárních žánrech. Jeho bouřlivý život, plný vášní a zvratů, se často odrážel v jeho dílech a dodával jim naléhavost a autentičnost. Navzdory intenzivnímu tvůrčímu nasazení si vždy zachoval pozoruhodnou jazykovou preciznost a hloubku. Stal se tak nejen významnou postavou portugalské literatury, ale i nezapomenutelným umělcem jazyka.
