It explores themes of social decline, inheritance, and the contrast between old aristocracy and new agrarian prosperity through the lives of the Negrão family, particularly focusing on the struggles of D. Luiz, the patriarch, and his two sons, Jorge and Mauricio. The story delves into their ancestral home, the Casa Mourisca, which symbolizes their faded grandeur and the challenges posed by changing socio-political landscapes. At the start of the narrative, the reader is introduced to the historical context of Portugal and the local folklore that surrounds the characters, specifically the notion of "mouras encantadas." The narrative quickly shifts to the depiction of the Casa Mourisca, highlighting its dilapidated state and the burdens of the Negrão family. D. Luiz, having returned from a diplomatic career, is shown grappling with family tragedies and political tensions. His sons represent differing attitudes towards their legacy; Jorge is introspective and concerned with the family's decline, whereas Mauricio is more carefree and focused on societal pleasures. As Jorge observes the flourishing Herdade nearby, he begins to reflect on saving their family estate, setting the stage for potential conflict and character development.
