Summary: "Scenas do século XVIII em Portugal" by Maria Amalia Vaz de Carvalho is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book focuses on the life of Leonor de Almeida, known as the Marquesa de Alorna, tracing her noble ancestry and upbringing in a tumultuous socio-political environment marked by the intrigues of the Portuguese court. It delves into her family's connections and the dramatic events surrounding her life and the historical context of 18th-century Portugal. The opening of this work introduces the reader to the illustrious ancestry of Leonor de Almeida, highlighting her grandfather's military accomplishments and her family's noble standing during a time of political upheaval. It paints a vivid picture of the historical backdrop, including the tragic fate that befell many of her relatives due to the brutal political machinations led by the Marquês de Pombal. Leonor's life and her experiences in the convent of Chelas, where she grapples with her family's misfortunes, set the stage for a rich narrative of resilience, intellect, and the struggles of a woman navigating the complexities of her lineage within an oppressive society.
