Immerse yourself in 'O Mandarim' by Eça de Queirós, a novel that explores the author's personal vision of oriental countries and antiquity. Through his fine irony, Queirós offers a deep psychological analysis, masterfully portraying remorse. The narrative weaves moments of suggestive description in Teodoro's dreams of opulence and his chimerical journey to China. This work, beyond reality, captures the essence of the Portuguese spirit.
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.
