Alfarrábios is a historical novel by the Brazilian writer José de Alencar, first published in 1873.
[1] It is composed of three minor narratives: "O Garatuja", "O Ermitão da Glória" and "Alma de Lázaro".
[2] Critics consider Alfarrábios an example of Gothic fiction due to its expolration of mystic themes, its virtuous characters and righteous punishment for villains.
[3] "O Garatuja" is a comedic retelling of a love story from 1699 that incited a riot; it is mentioned by Baltasar Lisboa [pt].
[3][2] "O Ermitão da Glória" is a story about a pirate who built the Nossa Senhora da Glória do Outeiro [pt] (written in a solemn manner), and "Alma de Lázaro" is about a diary of a person affected with leprosy who is describing their thoughts and the inner conflict between their appearance and soul.
