Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Teodorico Raposo, the novel's anti-hero, is a master of deceit; one-minute feigning devotion in front of his rich, pious aunt, in order to inherit her money, the next indulging in debauchery. Spurred on by the desire to please his aunt, and in order to get away from his unfaithful mistress, he embarks on a journey to the Holy Land in search of a holy relic. The resulting fiasco is a masterpiece of comic irony as religious bigotry and personal greed are mercilessly ridiculed. AUTHOR: Jose Maria de Eca de Queiroz (1845-1900) is generally considered to be Portugal's greatest ever novelist. After studying law at Coimbra University he had a career as a diplomat, including 14 years spent in England as a consul, Bristol (1874-79) and Newcastle(1879-1888).He then went to Paris where he remained until his death in 1900. He began writing stories and essays as a young man and became involved with a group of intellectuals known as the Generation of '70, who were committed to reforms in society and the arts. The ten titles translated by Margaret Jull Costa and published by Dedalus are: The Mandarin, The Relic, The Tragedy of the Street of Flowers, The Crime of Father Amaro, Cousin Bazilio, The Maias, The City and the Mountains, Alves & Co, The Mystery of Sintra Road and The Illustrious House of Ramires.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Eca de Queiroz's first novel and Portugal's first mystery-come-detective novel in its first English translation Two friends are kidnapped by several masked men, who, to judge by their manners and their accents 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. Eca de Queiroz wrote this spoof 'mystery' with his friend Ramalho Ortigao, publishing it in the form of a series of anonymous letters in the Diario de Noticias between 24 July and 27 September 1870. Many readers believed the letters to be genuine. As the book progresses, one sees Eca gradually getting into his stride as a novelist, equally at home with humour and with human drama. AUTHOR: Jose Duarte Ramalho Ortigqo (1836 1915) studied law at Coimbra University, but failed to complete his degree. He then became a teacher of French in a school run by his father, and among his pupils was Eca de Queiroz. From 1862 on, he worked as a journalist and literary critic, contributing to various literary magazines, and in 1870, he and Eca decided to write a spoof romantic novel, purportedly based on a genuine murder case, and which appeared in instalments in the Lisbon daily newspaper Diario de Noticias. The serial proved extremely popular and was subsequently published in book form. Ramalho Ortigao and Eca continued to collaborate on a satirical journal called As Farpas, and Ramalho Ortigao continued to work on this alone when Eca began his diplomatic career. Eca de Queiroz (1845-1900) is considered to be Portugal's greatest novelist. Dedalus has embarked on a project to make all his major works available in English in new translations by Margaret Jull Costa. SELLING POINTS: Recently turned into a major Portuguese feature film it will delight avid Eca fans and lovers of mysteries.
