Descrição
The great nineteenth-century Portuguese novelist, Eça 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 of 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 a life of virtue is not enough, Jesus healing a child, three brothers destroyed by greed, and a loyal nursemaid forced to make a terrible choice.
