«Los Maias» is the novel by Eça de Queirós, published by Círculo de Lectores in hardback (541 pages, in Spanish).
The story follows the Maia family over several generations, with Carlos Maia as the central figure, in nineteenth-century Lisbon. Between loves and disappointments, it shows the decline of the lineage and the decadence of the Portuguese bourgeoisie, with a critical view of the society of its time.
The novel was originally published in 1888 and this Spanish edition appeared in 1985 under the Círculo de Lectores imprint.
For those seeking a classic work of nineteenth-century European narrative, with family story and social criticism.
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.
