by José Maria de Eça de Queirós
'Maias: episodios da vida romantica' Summary
Os Maias acompanha a vida de Carlos da Maia, um jovem aristocrata português, desde a sua juventude até à sua morte prematura. A obra explora o seu relacionamento com a sua família, os seus amores e as suas desventuras. Carlos é um homem culto e sensível, mas também indolente e egocêntrico, características que o tornam um personagem complexo e fascinante. O romance narra a sua paixão por Maria Eduarda, uma jovem de beleza e inteligência excepcionais, e as consequências da sua relação. A história também retrata a vida social e política da época, com foco na decadência da aristocracia portuguesa e nas transformações sociais que assolavam o país. Através de personagens como o tio Afonso, um homem de moral rígida, e a Tia D. Maria, uma mulher de grande bondade e sensibilidade, Eça de Queirós expõe as diferentes visões sobre a vida e os valores da época. Os Maias é um retrato crítico da sociedade portuguesa, com uma linguagem rica e detalhada, que explora temas como o amor, a traição, a morte e a perda, e que permanece relevante até aos dias de hoje.Book Details
