Project Gutenberg 2010-12-24 Public domain in the USA. 112 Villa-Moura, Bento de Oliveira Cardoso, Visconde de 1877 1935 Villa-Moura, Visconde de Moura, Visconde de Vila Villa-Moura, Bento de Oliveira Cardoso e Castro, Visconde de Vila Moura, Visconde de As Cinzas de Camillo Produced by Mike Silva "As Cinzas de Camillo" by Visconde de Bento de Oliveira Cardoso Villa-Moura is a reflective essay written in the early 20th century. This work discusses the posthumous fate of the Portuguese novelist Camillo Castelo Branco, who tragically committed suicide in 1890. The book explores both the legacy of Castelo Branco and the significance of his final wishes regarding his burial, emphasizing themes of respect and memory in the context of literary and cultural heritage. In this profound work, Villa-Moura delves into the circumstances surrounding Camillo's death and the subsequent debates about the appropriate way to honor his memory. Focusing on Camillo's expressed desire to remain in the tomb of his close friend Freitas Fortuna rather than being relocated to the national Pantheon, the author presents correspondence and documents that reinforce Camillo's final wishes. Ultimately, Villa-Moura argues against the need for posthumous public recognition, advocating for the sanctity of personal wishes and the importance of preserving the integrity of one's memory as anticipated by the individual themselves. The book serves as both a tribute to a remarkable literary figure and a thoughtful meditation on mortality, legacy, and respect for the departed. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
