Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

'It is pleasing to have this jeu d'esprit by one of Europe's finest writers available in English, in the idiomatically fluent style typical of Margaret Jull Costa..'It wears', to quote from the authors' preface, 'an impudent air of triumph that rather suits it.' The Times Literary Supplement

'One of the greatest novelists of the novel's greatest age, Eca is also amongst the most readable due to his narrative energy, sweeping range and tart sense of humour.' -- Michael Kerrigan in The Scotsman

'Queiroz is far greater than my own dear master, Flaubert.'-- Emile Zola

Reseña del editor:

Two friends were kidnapped on the road to Sintra by three masked men and taken to a mysterious house. In the house there is a corpse. The usual questions arise: who was he? How did he die? Was it a natural death or a murder? Who was the perpetrator or the instigator of the crime? The two friends are the two narrators - Eca de Queiroz and Ramalho Ortigao - whose story was published in the form of letters to the editor recounting what happened to them."
