Summary "Salve, Rei!" by Camilo Castelo Branco is a poetic work written in the mid-19th century. As a piece of poetry, it encapsulates the themes of loyalty, nostalgia, and the expression of longing for a king, specifically dedicated to King Miguel I of Portugal on the occasion of his marriage. The author, a significant figure in Portuguese literature, uses this poem to convey profound emotions tied to loss and the desire for justice. The poem reflects on themes of exile, suffering, and hope, exploring the tragic situation of a deposed king and his loyal subjects. Through evocative imagery and lyrical expression, Castelo Branco laments the fall of monarchy and the pain of betrayal that the Portuguese people endured. The poet urges for divine justice and expresses a heartfelt yearning for the return of the rightful ruler, highlighting a deep-rooted sense of identity and belonging that transcends the physical absence of authority. In essence, "Salve, Rei!" serves as a poignant homage to both the king and the collective spirit of the nation. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
