Eca de Queiroz began his career as a self-declared realist, but as
his writing evolved, his novels and stories became a potent blend
of realism and fantasy. In this volume, comprising one short novel
and six short stories, the reader is introduced to a dazzling
variety of worlds and characters - a deceived husband who finds
that jealousy is not the answer, a lovelorn Greek
poet-turned-waiter working in a Charing Cross hotel, a saintly
young woman soured by love, a follower of St Francis who learns
that an entire life of virtue can be besmirched by one cruel act,
Adam in Paradise pondering the pros and cons of dominion over the
earth, Jesus healing a child, and a loyal nursemaid forced to make
a terrible choice.
