«Cartas de Inglaterra» is the collection of essays by Eça de Queirós published by Publicações Europa-América in paperback (140 pages).
In these letters sent from England, Eça de Queirós portrays Victorian society: parliamentarism, the press, the home and the English character, with curiosity and irony. He alternates admiration for the country's advances with a critical look at its contradictions, forming a picture of the 19th century.
Edition in Portuguese with complete text, part of the Grandes Obras collection from Publicações Europa-América.
For readers of essays and chronicles who want to discover the Portuguese view of Victorian society.
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.
