The book of Camello Castillo Branco, which in particular criticizes politicians is “the fall of an angel”, published in 1865. This work is a political and social satire that depicts the story of Callisto Elu, Nabil Maafa becomes a deputy in Lisbon (2and3).
The “fall of the angel” is one of the most tremendous criticism of the Portuguese political class in the nineteenth century, where it deals with topics such as:
- Ethical corruption associated with power (3
- Survival and superficiality of politicians (3))
- A conservative ideals have turned into liberal practices (3))
- Confusion between personal and public interests (2))
Camello’s criticism of this work is so sharp that even after more than 150 years of its publication, it is still considered to be applied to the current political class (2). Romance reveals how politicians are often not elected to defend the interests of the population, but in favor of specific groups that affect the elections (2).
In addition, the work chants both conservatives and liberals, while highlighting the contradictions and hypocrisy in Portuguese politics at that time (1). This comprehensive criticism makes the “fall of the angel” one of the most controversial and relevant actions in Camilo Castillo Branko regarding political criticism.
