«Écrits sur la France» is a collection of writings by Eça de Queiroz, presented by Jean Pailler, published by L'Harmattan in paperback, in French.
The book brings together texts by Eça de Queiroz translated and presented by Jean Pailler. Based in Paris as consul in 1888, he describes a materialistic, mediocre and arrogant France; his disillusionment becomes an indirect tribute to the idealized France. He also records his pain at the injustice of the Dreyfus affair.
The edition, published in 1998, consists of 192 pages; the foreword is by A. Campos Matos and includes bibliographic references (pages 182-183) and an index.
For readers interested in Portuguese literature, European cultural history and the figure of Eça de Queiroz.
José Maria de Eça de Queiroz or Queirós is generally considered to have been the greatest Portuguese writer in the realist style. Zola considered him to be far greater than Flaubert. In the London Observer, Jonathan Keates ranked him alongside Dickens, Balzac and Tolstoy.
