In 'Letters from England', Eça de Queirós offers a collection of chronicles written during his time as consul in Bristol for the Brazilian newspaper Gazeta de Notícias. With a cosmopolitan vision and an ironic style, the author addresses topics ranging from politics and Christmas to the publishing world and British domination in Egypt. These pages, full of talent and wit, show us reality through the eyes of one of the great writers of modern Europe.
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.
