Honorina, a young and beautiful lady, always surrounded by illustrious admirers—and thus the object of envy from the young women of the Court—begins to be courted by a mysterious man, known only by the nickname "The Blond Lad." He is always nearby, as if omnipresent, using a series of stratagems to conceal his identity. However, the lady's attention to this mysterious gentleman begins to cause jealousy in those who harbor hopes of winning her love. Because of one of them, the most fervent and the most despised by her, Honorina and her family end up suffering the consequences of a wicked plan. Full of charming and charismatic characters, Joaquim Manuel de Macedo's novel mixes sweetness, irony, and comedy. It is a beautiful portrait of 19th-century Rio de Janeiro.
O Moço Loiro

Honorina, uma jovem e bela dama, sempre cercada de ilustres admiradores – e por isso alvo de inveja das moças da Corte –, começa a ser cortejada por um homem misterioso, conhecido apenas pela alcunha de "O Moço Loiro". Ele está sempre por perto, como que onipresente, valendo-se de uma série de artimanhas para ocultar sua identidade. No entanto, as atenções da dama a esse misterioso cavalheiro começam a causar ciúmes naqueles que nutrem esperanças em conquistar o seu amor. Por causa de um deles, o mais fervoroso e o mais desprezado por ela, Honorina e sua família acabam sofrendo as consequências de um plano perverso. Repleto de personagens charmosos e carismáticos, o romance de Joaquim Manuel de Macedo mistura doçura, ironia e comicidade. Trata-se de um belo retrato do Rio de Janeiro do século XIX.
