Cousin Bazilio is a tale of sexual folly and hypocrisy and vividly depicts life in nineteenth-century lisbon. Eca gives us a whole gallery of characters from Bazilio, the suave villain to Jorge, the smugly uxorious husband, from Luiza, the bored empty-headed wife to Juliana, the plain, ailing maidservant desperate, by whatever means, to grab some of life's little luxuries, from Leopoldina, nicknamed' the Ever-Open Door', to Joana the cook and her affair with the tubercular carpenter who lives opposite, and the voluminous Dona Felidade who nurses an entirely unrequited passion for the unbearably pompous Acacio, who lives in concubinage with his much younger housekeeper, who is also having an affair... 'Adultery, blackmail, sentimentality and lust all come under Eca's scrutiny. Sins are scattered amid a gallery of vivid characters, central of which are the adulterous heroine, her first love, the cuckolded husband, and most importantly, the maid. This cunning portrayal of life below stairs casts a cold eye across the hypocrisy of 'respectability, ' recreating the sultry summer heat of Lisbon and the tensions and passions underlying both the refinements of the wealthy and the loyalty of the servants. Sheer brilliance.' The Good Book Guid

Eça de Queirós, neste livro, faz uma crítica severa à sociedade lisboeta do século XIX. O autor mostra a lenta deformação do caráter de Luísa, mulher de formação romântica entediada com o casamento, sob o efeito de leituras e músicas sentimentais. Durante uma viagem do marido Jorge, Luísa envolve-se com seu sedutor primo Basílio. Porém, Juliana, a invejosa e vingativa criada, descobre o caso e arma um esquema de chantagem. Muitas emoções e reviravoltas num clássico do realismo português.

Few literary phenomena are as elusive and yet as persistent as realism. While it responds to the perennial impulse to use literature to reflect on experience, it also designates a specific set of literary and artistic practices that emerged in response to Western modernity. Landscapes of Realism is a two-volume collaborative interdisciplinary exploration of this vast territory, bringing together leading-edge new criticism on the realist paradigms that were first articulated in nineteenth-century Europe but have since gone on globally to transform the literary landscape. Tracing the manifold ways in which these paradigms are developed, discussed and contested across time, space, cultures and media, this first volume tackles in its five core essays and twenty-five case studies such questions as why realism emerged when it did, why and how it developed such a transformative dynamic across languages, to what extent realist poetics remain central to art and popular culture after 1900, and how generally to reassess realism from a twenty-first-century comparative perspective.

A high-quality summary of Miguel de Cervantes's book Don Quixote of La Mancha including chapter details and analysis of the main themes of the original book. About the original book: Spanish nobleman, Don Quijote is the name chosen by Alonso Quijano for his adventures as a knight errant in the fictional work The ingenious gentleman Don Quixote de la Mancha, the work of the Spanish writer Miguel de Cervantes. Don Quixote de la Mancha ”by Miguel de Cervantes is one of the top works of Spanish literature and world literature. Let's see some curious facts: It is the most translated book after the Bible, with versions in more than 150 languages. Among the curious translations of the work are those published in the international Esperanto language and the version in Spanglish that Ilan Stavans has edited. Don Quixote consists of two parts; the first was published in 1605 and the second in 1615. It is the first modern novel and the first polyphonic novel (that is, with several voices). Its influence has been such that critics have come to say that every subsequent novel rewrites Don Quixote or contains it implicitly. Around the world, the anniversaries of its publication are celebrated with almost religious fervor. Several passages were written in jail since Miguel de Cervantes spent some time there due to tax problems. In 1989 a copy was sold for $ 1.5 million. It was the first edition in excellent condition and of which there are only a couple of copies.

A museum curator travels to Italy and looks into a murder in this “fresh, funny [and] thoroughly enjoyable mystery” by the author of the Gideon Oliver series (Publishers Weekly). Mild‐mannered and law‐abiding, Chris Norgren, curator of Renaissance and Baroque art at the Seattle Art Museum, is an unlikely undercover investigator, but when a priceless Rubens portrait is discovered in a shipment of “authentic reproductions” in a local warehouse, Chris is pressed into service to find out how it got there. The quest leads him to the medieval city of Bologna, one of his favorite places, but all too soon what might have been a welcome Italian interlude turns into a bizarre journey into shady art world doings and murderous secrets . . .

On the centenary of Fontane’s death and at the turn of the century these essays take a new look at this supreme chronicler of Prussia and of the Germany that emerges after 1871. Written by scholars from different countries and disciplines, they focus on novels and theatre reviews from the perspectives of philosophy, sociology, comparative literature and translation theory, and in the contexts of topography and painting. Connections and crosscurrents emerge to reveal new aspects of Fontane’s poetics and to produce contrasting but complementary readings of his novels. He appears in the company of predecessors and contemporaries, such as Scott, Thackeray, Saar, Ibsen, Turgenev, but also in that of writers he has rarely, if ever, been seen beside, such as E.T.A. Hoffmann, Stendhal, Trollope, Henry James and Edith Wharton, Beckett and Faulkner. The historical novel and the social position of women are each a recurring focus of interest. Fontane emerges as receptive to other voices, as a precursor of developments in modern narrative, and confirmed as the novelist who brings the nineteenth-century German novel closest to the broad traditions of European realism.
