Alves e cia, by Eça de Queiroz posthumous publication, clearly has not undergone the same proofreading and refinement as the author’s other works.However, when made into a movie—titled Amor e cia, by the director Helvécio Rattoh—Eça’s mentioned work appears as a perfectly finished and seductive adaptation. This paper discuss the supposed fidelity between these two works, pointing out the movie’s cultural adaptations and the director’s options in his remaking of work, that makes him a “reviser” of Eça.

In the early 1840s, at the height of the cabralista dictatorship in Portugal, the writer Rebelo da Silva analyzing a drama and its reception by the Portuguese public in the Revista Universal Lisbonense claims that "the political passions reboil and exude in the artworks "(23/11/1843, p. 165). It's the production period of Eurico and of Viagens na minha terra, and also the time of the rising of young Portuguese novelists. What stands out in the set of narratives published in this journal during the editorial of António Feliciano de Castilho (1842-1845) is the search for new literary forms and the strength of the political passions that influence the writing of these novels.

Among the various literary activities that engaged Pinheiro Chagas, this paper intended to show his versatility in serial-chronic. Although some passages still indicate a melodramatic tone, mostly the composition of the Revista da Semana presents an interesting text, in that its author founds the theme for his chronicles of genres and unconventional speeches to the literary field.

The history of Portuguese novel is still a chapter to be explored. It is usually told as an extension of the French and the English novel. Such a perspective leads to the mistake of placing its beginning in Portugal at a time when the French and British models landed on the country, which causes the disregard of an entire previous production of the genre. Without the need of going back too much in time when considering this milestone, one can notice two occurrences that have not yet come to be widely known, namely the novels Carlos e Julieta (Carlos and Julieta, published in 1838) and O Estudante de Coimbra (The Student of Coimbra, published in 1840-1841). Both are works written by Guilherme Centazzi and precede the most broadly known works that established the novel as a genre in Portugal. The study of such works, mainly O Estudante de Coimbra, has the aim of contributing to broaden what is known about the history of Portuguese novel, as to throw light upon aspects still little explored and that concern nineteenth century narratives, such as the dialogue kept between this genre and the novel tradition of the eighteenth century.
