| Summary | "A Casa dos Fantasmas - Volume I" by Luiz Augusto Rebello da Silva is a historical fiction novel written in the late 19th century. The narrative is set against the backdrop of early 19th-century Portugal during a time of tumultuous political upheaval, specifically referencing the invasions by French forces. The story revolves around the character Manuel Coutinho, who finds himself entangled in a web of danger involving conspiracies, supernatural elements linked to a haunted mansion, and a quest to rescue his beloved, caught in perilous circumstances. At the start of the novel, the scene is depicted on a stormy evening in May 1808, as a traveler faces treacherous weather while journeying through the Portuguese countryside. As the traveler arrives at a mysterious, decrepit mansion known as the Casa Negra, he witnesses unusual activity inside, which raises his suspicions about who may be residing there. The unfolding events highlight the tension between past grievances and current dangers, represented through characters like Manuel, who is determined to confront the threats presented by corrupt military figures and seek out the truth behind the strange happenings in the haunted house.
