About...
Joaquim Guilherme Gomes Coelho, better known by the pseudonym Júlio Diniz, was a Portuguese writer and physician.
Some of her main works:
The Pupils of the Lord Provost (1867)
A Morgadinha dos canaviais (1868)

Os Fidalgos da Casa Mourisca (1871)

“‘Kisses and hugs, the more open they are, the less dangerous they are. It’s the hidden ones that I’m afraid of.” – The Pupils of the Lord Provost, Júlio Diniz.
He is considered one of the most important Portuguese novelists and a major contributor to the development of the Modern Novel in Portugal.
Júlio Diniz earned a degree in Medicine, but his declining health eventually prevented him from practicing. Later, he became a university professor, though he devoted himself primarily to Literature. He died at the young age of 31 from pulmonary tuberculosis — the same illness that had taken the life of his mother and, later, his eight siblings. Júlio Diniz is regarded as a transitional writer, positioned between the end of Romanticism and the beginning of Realism.
