| Summary | "A princeza na berlinda" by Urbano de Castro is a satirical novel written in the late 19th century. This work explores the life and experiences of a fictional princess in Lisbon, utilizing humor and social critique to comment on the literary and cultural scene of the time. The narrative serves as a critique of the social elite and their interactions with the arts. The story revolves around the titular princess, who endeavors to create a reputation for herself in Lisbon's literary circles through lavish dinner parties attended by prominent writers and intellectuals. Initially ignored by the literary community, she cleverly uses these events to garner attention and promote her works. As the narrative unfolds, the princess's attempts at achieving fame lead to amusing misadventures, revealing the absurdities of social status, the literary establishment, and public taste. Her efforts include a disastrous play that highlights the fickleness of public appreciation, showcasing the delicate balance between art and social approval in the context of 19th-century Portuguese society.
