Short description

"José Matias," the tale of a man of leisure who is going to his grave accompanied by a very brief procession of carriages, highlights, perhaps more than any other tale of his, the gentle irony—equal parts affection and sarcasm—that makes the work of the great nineteenth-century Portuguese writer José Maria de Eça de Queirós so delightful to the contemporary reader.

Extended description

"José Matias," the tale of a madly romantic man of leisure who is going to his grave accompanied by a very brief procession of carriages, highlights the gentle irony—equal parts affection and sarcasm—that makes the work of the great nineteenth-century Portuguese writer José Maria de Eça de Queirós seem much closer to contemporary readers than it might appear from a glance at the dates of Eça's birth (1845) and death (1900).
