Tales

A fair-haired, slender, and vibrant young woman, for whom the honest Macário almost goes mad. A handmaiden who gives herself up in the greatest act of loyalty to her kingdom. Jacinto, a true man of the city, who finds himself discovering the wonders of rural life. Or José Matias, a graceful young man who ends his days contemplating the divine Elisa from afar. The characters conceived by Eça de Queiroz in the stories he published throughout his literary career in newspapers and magazines, and collected here, are unforgettable.
