The Count of Abranhos | 
I am enjoying this satirical 19th-century novel recounting the life of the Count of Abranhos. This #Portuguese magistrate/statesman is a horrible human being, although his secretary (who's the narrator) doesn't see it... The sarcasm might be a bit heavy-handed, but it's fun and full of social criticism.
Statue of the author from Wikipedia - if he could see it, he'd probably roll his eyes at it 😂
