“Decidi compôr, nos vagares d'este verão, na minha quinta do Mosteiro (antigo solar dos condes de Landoso) as memorias da minha Vida—que n'este seculo, tão consumido pelas incertezas da Intelligencia e tão angustiado pelos tormentos do Dinheiro, encerra, penso eu e pensa meu cunhado Chrispim, uma lição lucida e forte.”
José Maria de Eça de Queiroz is generally considered to have been the greatest Portuguese writer in the realist style. Zola considered him to be far greater than Flaubert. ---------- José Maria de Eça de Queiroz foi um escritor e diplomata português. É considerado um dos mais importantes escritores portugueses de sempre. Foi autor de romances de reconhecida importância, como O Crime do Padre Amaro e Os Maias, considerado por muitos o melhor romance realista português do século XIX.
