DE QUEIROZ, Eça. The Maias
DE QUEIROZ, Eça. The Maias. Trans. by Patricia McGowan Pinheiro and Ann Stevens. London: The Bodley Head. 1965. 8vo. First British edition. Publisher’s blue cloth lettered in silver gilt to the spine, in the dust jacket designed by Arthur Barbosa. A very good copy, the cloth a trifle bumped around spine head and tail, the binding fairly tight and square, with some spots to the textblock edges. The contents fine. The dust jacket unclipped (30s net) and complete, gently bumped to spine tips, with a couple of tiny nicks to the corners. A handsome copy.
One of de Queiroz’s most famous work, it being a staple text for Portuguese secondary school students for decades. The novel follows the gradual decline of a once powerful aristocratic family told in parallel to Portugal’s own demise of its royal family.
