Júlio Dinis , the pseudonym of Joaquim Guilherme Gomes Coelho (born November 14, 1839 in Porto , † September 12, 1871 ibid), was a Portuguese doctor and writer.
Life
The son of a Portuguese father and an English mother was an assistant professor at the Porto Medical School. He had already published several stories about life in the country in Jornal do Porto when he had to resign from his medical position due to increasing tuberculosis . Due to illness, he moved to the coastal town of Ovar and wrote the novel there in 1867, through which he became known: As Pupilas do Senhor Reitor . A year later he published Uma Família Inglesa ("An English Family"). Júlio Dinis died of his illness in 1871 at the age of 31.
plant
Dinis is considered to be the first great novelist of modern Portuguese civil society. His novels are written in a simple and straightforward style for a wide audience. His first novel related to his own family situation and described the influence of the English on Portuguese culture and the second describes the English society in Porto. Some of his works and plays were published posthumously. There are no translations of his books into other languages.
