Buch Erstausgabe
Soft cover. Zustand: Fine. 1st Edition. Black marker stripe across bottom pages ======== Synopsis: "Eça de Queiros (1845-1900) ought to be," as the London Observer stated, "up there with Balzac, Dickens, and Tolstoy as one of the talismanic names of the nineteenth century." His superlative penultimate novel, The Illustrious House of Ramires (1900) centers on Gonçalo Ramires, heir to the most noble family of Portugal. Gonçalo, charming but disastrously effete, muddles through his life while writing a historical novel based on the heroic deeds of his ancestors. "The record of their valour is ironically counterpointed by his own chicanery. A combination of Don Quixote and Walter Mitty, he is continually humiliated [but he] is at the same time kindhearted . Ironic comedy is the keynote of the novel . Eça de Queiros has justly been compared with Flaubert and Stendhal."(The London Spectator) From the Back Cover: This story centers on Goncalo Ramires, heir to the most noble family of Portugal. Goncalo, charming but disastrously effete, muddles through his life while writing a historical novel based on the heroic deeds of his ancestors. "About this title" may belong to another edition of this title.
