«As batalhas do Caia» is Mário Cláudio's novel, published in 1995 by Publicações Dom Quixote in paperback (207 pages, in Portuguese).
The novel starts from an unfinished tale by Eça de Queirós, «A catástrofe», and develops it with Eça himself as the central character: it imagines the book he never came to write, a chronicle of Portuguese decline that culminates in a hypothetical Battle of the Caia and a Spanish invasion that would allow the country's regeneration.
First edition, published in Lisbon in the collection «Autores de língua portuguesa»; includes an original portrait by Emerenciano.
For readers interested in Portuguese literature and in the figure of Eça de Queirós.
