On a cold and pessimistic winter morning in Paris, the cosmopolitan Jacinto decides to return to his native Tormes, a peaceful village in the Portuguese mountains, accompanied by Zé Fernandes, the narrator-character of this story. "A fantastic novel," as Eça de Queiroz called it, The City and the Mountains portrays the contrasts between the excitement of city life and the genuine beauty of country life.
Written in the final phase of the author's life, this work was only published in 1901, one year after Eça de Queiroz's death.
