In the most remote corner of China, an immensely rich mandarin awaits. No one knows his name, face, or clothing. To inherit his fortune, one need only ring a bell next to a book, which will cause his death in Mongolia and make you the owner of unimaginable riches. Would you dare to ring the bell? This work by Eça de Queirós, published by Acantilado, is a reflection on ambition and morality, presented in a paperback edition with 120 pages.
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.
