Contos

by José Maria de Eça de Queirós

''Contos de Eça de Queirós'' é uma coleção de doze contos curtos que oferecem uma crítica mordaz à sociedade portuguesa do século XIX, particularmente à sua crescente materialismo e superficialidade. Através de personagens memoráveis e situações irônicas, Eça de Queirós explora temas como a hipocrisia social, a busca por status, o amor e a decepção, e o vazio existencial que pode resultar de uma vida focada apenas em bens materiais. Escritos com o estilo realista e mordaz característico do autor, estes contos oferecem uma visão perspicaz e perspicaz da vida social portuguesa da época, explorando as fragilidades e contradições da sociedade.
