Cidade e as Serras
by José Maria de Eça de Queirós
'Cidade e as Serras' Summary
A história gira em torno de Jacinto, um homem rico e sofisticado que se sente desiludido com a vida em Paris. Ele decide voltar à sua terra natal, Tormes, uma vila tranquila na Serra da Estrela, em Portugal. Acompanhado pelo seu amigo Zé Fernandes, ele experimenta uma vida simples, em contato com a natureza e os costumes locais. Jacinto, acostumado ao luxo e à agitação da cidade, se vê fascinado pela simplicidade e beleza da vida rural. Através de suas experiências e reflexões, o autor critica a superficialidade da vida urbana e exalta a importância da natureza e dos valores tradicionais. As personagens, a linguagem mordaz e a crítica social de Eça de Queirós criam uma obra rica e relevante que continua a cativar os leitores até os dias de hoje.Book Details
