📘 Amor de Perdição by Camilo Castelo Branco

Simão Botelho, a young man from Viseu, falls passionately in love with Teresa de Albuquerque, the daughter of a rival. The secret affair drives Simão to drastic changes of character and leads to a deadly confrontation with Baltazar Coutinho, who had promised Teresa’s hand to his nephew. Teresa is sent to a convent, and Simão returns from Coimbra to stay with João da Cruz, where João’s daughter Mariana instantly falls for him. While clandestine correspondence continues between Simão and Teresa, Mariana’s daily visits add to the tension. Simão’s attempt to meet Teresa ends in the fatal shooting of Baltazar, after which he is imprisoned and later exiled to India. The love triangle, full of courtly romance and tragic violence, concludes with a heartrending finale.

📘 Senhora

by José de Alencar

**Senhora** é um romance urbano do escritor brasileiro José de Alencar, publicado em 1874, na forma de folhetim. É um dos últimos romances de Alencar, publicado três anos antes da morte do escritor. Da mesma forma que Iracema, Senhora é juntamente com Lucíola um dos pontos altos da sua ficção citadina e de atualidade. O final feliz é a ultima parte do desenvolvimento do romance — agora em clave de maior densidade psicológica — do motivo do conflito entre o amor e o interesse, presente desde os primeiros livros, notadamente *A viuvinha*. — da [Wikipédia](https://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Senhora_(romance%29) (CC BY-SA 4.0)
