«El misterio de la carretera de Sintra» is the novel by Eça de Queirós and Ramalho Ortigão, published by Acantilado in paperback (376 pages, in Spanish).
In July 1870, the «Diario de Noticias» of Lisbon announced the publication of an anonymous letter in which a mysterious Doctor X recounted a horrible event that occurred on the Sintra road. The epistolary narrative published in the newspaper plunged the city into intrigue and kept its readers on tenterhooks.
It belongs to the Acantilado Bolsillo collection (no. 6). Translation from the Portuguese by Carmen Martín Gaite. Work originally published in 1870.
For readers of classic fiction and mystery, interested in an epistolary intrigue set in nineteenth-century Lisbon.
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.
