«A Casa do Pó» is the historical novel by Fernando Campos, published by Difel in 1996 in paperback (439 pages, in Portuguese).
A man who never knew where he came from keeps a medallion, the only clue that can reveal his identity. In sixteenth-century Portugal, his search intertwines with a real event that shook the nobility of the courts of D. Manuel I and D. João III. The plot spans Spain, the Mediterranean and Palestine in a blend of history, adventure, cruelty and mystery.
The narrative draws on the «Itinerário da Terra Sancta e suas particularidades» by Frei Pantaleão de Aveiro (Lisbon, 1593). Cover by Rogério Petinga over a detail from a Titian painting.
For readers of historical fiction and intrigues set in the Portuguese Renaissance, with mystery and period reconstruction.
