In the remotest part of China, there is a mandarin richer than all the kings. Theodoro, a dark scribe from Lisbon, receives a visit from the devil, who proposes a sinister pact: to annihilate the mandarin in exchange for his riches. His life will be immersed in a prodigious adventure where fantasy combines with emotions. The illustrations by Alberto Cedrón honor this classic of Portuguese literature.
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.
