About This Item
Porto, Livraria Internacional de Ernesto Chardron, 1880.. 8°, contemporary half crimson sheep over marbled boards, spine with gilt fillets and raised bands in five compartments, black leather lettering pieces with gilt author and title in second and fourth compartments, decorated endleaves. Publisher's monogram on title page. Typographical headpiece and decorative initial on p. [v]. In very good condition. ix, (1 blank) pp., (1 l.), 674 pp. *** Second edition in book form of one of the best and most important novels ever written, profoundly revised by the author. A nearly completely new version, it is almost double the length of the previously published edition (the first in book form, 1876), which in turn was very different from the first appearance in print, in the Revista ocidental, 1875. It includes the author's preface, defending himself against charges he had plagiarized Emile Zola’s La faute de l’abbé Mouret. This is the first novel written entirely by Eça de Queiroz, and certainly one of his most important works. (O Mistério da estrada de Sintra, written in collaboration with Ramalho Ortigão, had appeared in 1870.) Guerra da Cal gives the collation as [4] ix [3] 674 [1] pp.; however, we have compared the present copy to others, including the one which had belonged to King Carlos I and King Manuel II, sold by us to the Houghton Library in 1990, and this copy is complete. The collation given by the Library of Congress online Catalog also agrees with that of the present copy. *** Guerra da Cal 35. Cf. J.P. Tavares, O crime do Padre Amaro, p. 5.
