by José Maria de Eça de Queirós

Cartas da Inglaterra is a collection of essays written by Portuguese author José Maria de Eça de Queirós during his time as a diplomat in England. The essays offer a critical and insightful look at English society, politics, and culture from the perspective of a foreigner. Eça de Queirós discusses a wide range of topics, including the British class system, the role of the monarchy, the state of the British economy, and the country's foreign policy. He also offers his thoughts on the Jewish question and the rise of nationalism in Europe.
