«El primo Basilio» is the novel by Portuguese writer José María Eça de Queiroz, published by Bruguera/Libro Amigo in paperback (349 pages, in Spanish).
Luísa, a young married woman, becomes involved in a romance with her cousin Basilio. Eça de Queiroz examines bourgeois double standards, hypocrisy, and the restrictions weighing on women in nineteenth-century Portugal, with a realist gaze that denounces the decadence of the upper classes and the cost of forbidden relationships.
Novel originally published in 1878; this Spanish edition, translated by Ramón del Valle-Inclán, appeared in 1983 in the Libro Amigo collection (no. 1001).
For readers of classic fiction, nineteenth-century realism, and Portuguese literature.
