    Rate this audiobook

    Eça de Queirós (1845-1900), um dos mais importantes escritores portugueses da história, destacou-se pelos romances Os Maias e O Crime do Padre Amaro. Cartas da Inglaterra, de 1905, resultou do período em que viveu e trabalhou em Newcastle e Bristol no serviço consular. A obra, pouco conhecida do grande público, apresenta uma faceta política do autor, expondo sua visão analítica e ensaísta. Nela, Eça tece críticas aos acontecimentos contemporâneos, tanto no que se refere aos portugueses quanto aos estrangeiros. Os destaques icluem as festividades na Inglaterra, sugestões de livros, ideias controversas acerca da situação judaica e o comportamento do povo inglês diante de outras nações. – Summary by Adriana Sacciotto     [chương_files]

    Strange Roads & With the Gods in Spring

    Rate this audiobook

    The centerpieces of this collection are two essays by Arthur Machen, Strange Roads and With the Gods in Spring. Both use images of journeys through the countryside to evoke a sense of place and an innate spiritualism found in nature. In addition to these two essays, taken from a stand-alone chapbook publication are two thematically similar poems by Machen that evoke folk legends of his native Wales. The collection is kicked off by an insightful appraisal of Machen’s literary career and his place in the pantheon of great authors of late Victorian period literature by Vincent Starlett.
