In 'A cidade e as serras', Eça de Queirós presents us with a fascinating dichotomy between urban and rural life through the story of a man who seeks happiness in both worlds. The novel explores themes of modernity, tradition, and the search for identity in a transforming Portugal. With rich and detailed prose, Queirós weaves a narrative that invites reflection on progress and connection with nature.
José Maria de Eça de Queiroz or Queirós is generally considered to have been the greatest Portuguese writer in the realist style. Zola considered him to be far greater than Flaubert. In the London Observer, Jonathan Keates ranked him alongside Dickens, Balzac and Tolstoy.
