«Os Maias» (volume II) is the second part of the novel by Eça de Queirós, published in hardcover and in Portuguese.
The fate of a Portuguese family throughout the nineteenth century serves as the thread running through this novel in which Eça de Queirós portrays the country's aristocracy and upper bourgeoisie, with their contradictions, tragic love affairs and life projects doomed to failure.
It corresponds to the second volume of the edition of Os Maias from the Biblioteca Visão collection (Colecção Novis); the original work was published in 1888.
For readers of classic Portuguese literature and admirers of nineteenth-century social narrative.
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.
