Contos
by José Maria de Eça de Queirós
'Contos' Summary
''Contos de Eça de Queirós'' reúne uma série de contos curtos que pintam um retrato ácido da sociedade portuguesa do século XIX. Eça de Queirós, mestre da ironia e do realismo, satiriza a busca incessante por status social, a superficialidade e o vazio moral que se instalam em meio à ascensão da riqueza material. Através de personagens memoráveis, o autor revela a hipocrisia social, a busca por ascensão social e as desilusões amorosas que assolam a sociedade. Em 'A Ilustre Casa de Ramires', por exemplo, Eça de Queirós retrata a decadência de uma família aristocrática, enquanto em 'O Primo Basílio', explora a paixão e as consequências de uma relação extraconjugal. A obra também aborda temas como a religiosidade superficial, a moralidade frouxa e a fragilidade da natureza humana, em um panorama cruel, mas perspicaz, da sociedade da época. Os contos de Eça de Queirós, apesar de escritos há mais de um século, continuam relevantes e atuais, denunciando a natureza humana e as fraquezas que perpassam as diferentes eras e sociedades.Book Details
