Cartas de Inglaterra

by Eça de Queirós

"Cartas de Inglaterra" by Eça de Queirós is a collection of journalism written between 1874 and 1888. These "Letters from England" offer sharp observations of British society, culture, and imperial affairs during the author's years in the Portuguese consular service. Writing for a Lisbon newspaper, Queirós examines topics from Christmas traditions and children's literature to Britain's conflicts in Afghanistan, Ireland, and Egypt. His cosmopolitan yet critical perspective reveals a fascination with English life tempered by profound skepticism toward British society and empire.
