«O Malhadinhas» is the picaresque novel by Aquilino Ribeiro, published by Bertrand Editora in paperback (356 pages, in Portuguese).
In the form of a monologue, it follows a mountain muleteer, rustic and cunning, who travels the roads of Portugal imposing his sense of justice with a knife. Between picaresque episodes and colloquial language full of idiomatic expressions, it portrays a rural Portugal now forgotten.
The work appeared in 1922 within «Estrada de Santiago» and was published as an autonomous volume in 1958. This 1994 edition also includes the novel «Mina de Diamantes».
For readers of classic Portuguese literature and picaresque rural narrative.
