(produced from scanned images of public domain material from Google Book Search) "Um conto portuguez: episodio da guerra civil: a Maria da Fonte" by Miguel J. T. Mascarenhas is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The narrative appears to revolve around the significant social and political tensions in Portugal during the civil war period, focusing particularly on the experiences and dynamics of a noble family and their relationships with common folk. Central to the story seems to be D. Maria da Gloria, a young noblewoman, and her friendships with two lower-class girls, Anna and Rosa, as they navigate the changing political landscape. The opening of the novel introduces three young women gathered in a floral courtyard, engaging in intimate conversation. D. Maria da Gloria stands out due to her beauty and noble lineage, while her friends, Anna and Rosa, come from humble backgrounds. As they converse, hints of societal unrest emerge with mentions of a popular uprising known as "Maria da Fonte," indicating that the story will weave personal relationships with broader historical events. Through their dialogues, the characters express varying personalities and perspectives on life, reflecting the dynamics of class and gender during a troubled period in Portuguese history.
