PROLOGO: Amigo 1. (Bebiendo conac y soda, bajo los arboles de una terraza, a orillas del agua.) Camarada; durante estos calores que embotan la imaginacion, descansemos del aspero estudio de las Realidades humanas.... Partamos hacia los campos del Ensueno, a vagar por esas azuladas colinas donde se levanta la torre abandonada de lo Sobrenatural y frescos musgos cubren amorosamente las ruinas del Idealismo.... Fantaseemos.... Amigo 2. Mas sobriamente, camarada, mas sobriamente... y como en las sabias y amables Alegorias del Renacimiento, mezclando siempre una moralidad discreta.... (Comedia inedita)

A Reliquia (1887)

Eca de Queiroz began his career as a self-declared realist, but as his writing evolved, his novels and stories became a potent blend of realism and fantasy. In this volume, comprising one short novel and six short stories, the reader is introduced to a dazzling variety of worlds and characters - a deceived husband who finds that jealousy is not the answer, a lovelorn Greek poet-turned-waiter working in a Charing Cross hotel, a saintly young woman soured by love, a follower of St Francis who learns that an entire life of virtue can be besmirched by one cruel act, Adam in Paradise pondering the pros and cons of dominion over the earth, Jesus healing a child, and a loyal nursemaid forced to make a terrible choice.

Alves and Co: And Other Stories (Dedalus European Classics)

Dedalus Limited

Two friends are kidnapped by several masked men, who, to judge by their manners and their accent are men of the best society. One of the friends is a doctor, and the masked men say that they need him to assist a noblewoman, who is about to give birth. When they reach the house, they find no such noblewoman, only a dead man. Another man, known only as A.M.C., bursts in at this point and declares that the man died of opium poisoning. The doctor writes a letter to a newspaper editor, setting out the facts as he knows them. These facts are rebutted first by a friend of A.M.C. and then by the first masked man, who explains the whole story... EÃ§a de Queiroz wrote this spoof â€˜mysteryâ€™ with his friend Ramalho OrtigÃ£o, publishing it in the form of a series of anonymous letters in the DiÃ¡rio de NotÃcias between 24 July and 27 September 1870. Many readers believed the letters to be genuine. As the book progresses, one sees EÃ§a gradually getting into his stride as a novelist, equally at home with humour and with human drama. Recently turned into a major Portuguese feature film it will delight avid EÃ§a fans and lovers of mysteries.
