About this eBook

Author Pimentel, Alberto, 1849-1925
Title Nervosos, Lymphaticos e Sanguineos
Credits Produced by Pedro Saborano
Summary "Nervosos, Lymphaticos e Sanguineos" by Alberto Pimentel is a literary treatise written in the late 19th century. The book explores the intersection of physiology and literature, examining how different temperaments—nervous, lymphatic, and sanguine—affect writers and their styles. The opening portions suggest that the text discusses notable literary figures and their psychological conditions as a means to understand their work, hinting at a deep analysis of the relationship between mental state and creative output. At the start of the work, the author references the ideas of Dr. Moreau, who posits that genius often arises from a condition akin to neurosis, suggesting that heightened emotional and intellectual states can lead to creativity but may also present risks of mental instability. Pimentel discusses various historical and contemporary writers, illustrating how their temperaments and psychological traits have shaped their literary styles. The text sets the stage for a broader reflection on the nature of artistry, signaling an exploration of how writers' physiological and emotional conditions are intertwined with their creative expressions.
