When her beautiful mother marries Hugh Fisher, whose summer house on Winthrop overlooks the famous lighthouse, Miranda’s catapulted into a heady new world of pedigrees and cocktails, status and swimming pools.

After finishing his studies, he founded the newspaper , in 1866, an organ in which he began his journalistic experience. In 1871, he gave the lecture \"Realism as a new expression of Art\", integrated into the Lisbon Casino Conferences and a product of the aesthetic evolution that led him towards the Realism-Naturalism of Flaubert and Zola.

This late masterpiece, wickedly funny and yet profoundly tender, centers on Gonçalo Ramires, heir to a family so aristocratic that it predates even the kings of Portugal. Gonçalo—charming but disastrously effete, idealistic but hopelessly weak—muddles through his pampered life, burdened by a grand ambition. He is determined to write a great historical novel based on the heroic deeds of his fierce medieval ancestors.  But “the record of their valor,” as The London Spectator remarked, “is ironically counterpointed by his own chicanery. A combination of Don Quixote and Walter Mitty, Ramires is continually humiliated but at the same time kindhearted. Ironic comedy is the keynote of the novel. Eça de Queirós has justly been compared with Flaubert and Stendhal.\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SAUDADE TORONTO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49532500902111,"sku":null,"price":24.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1251\/1761\/files\/FullSizeRender_0bb03737-86e9-4604-812a-c66175ba5d47.jpg?v=1779738586"},{"product_id":"world","title":"World","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWorld—Ana Luísa Amaral’s second collection with New Directions—offers a new exhilarating set of poems that convey wonder, bemusement, and an ever-deepening appreciation of life. Weaving the thread that connects the poem to life, World speaks of our immense human perplexity in the face of everything around us and our oneness with it all. As Amaral notes, all of us, “humans and non-humans, are on the same ontological level, the differences being only a matter of perspective. We are all made of the same stuff as dreams—and stars.” Asked about her thoughts on World, Amaral’s peerless translator Margaret Jull Costa replied: “What I take from this collection of poems is a sense of joy in the ordinary—seeing an ant going about its business, or a bee or a fish, or the feeling of sharing a whole history with a particular table, or watching a very ordinary woman sitting on a train playing with the handle of her handbag. World also brings us meditations on colonization, slavery, and whaling. Like the world, it is full of surprises and full of joy and sadness.” These vibrant, exultant poems invite you to share this marvelous world: Yes, all you need (how easy!) is to say yes.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable id=\"productDetails_techSpec_section_1\" class=\"a-keyvalue prodDetTable\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"a-span3 prodDetSectionEntry a-text-bold\"\u003eLanguage\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"a-span9 a-align-center prodDetSectionEntry\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e‎English \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"a-span3 prodDetSectionEntry a-text-bold\"\u003ePrint length\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"a-span9 a-align-center prodDetSectionEntry\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e144 pages\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"a-span3 prodDetSectionEntry a-text-bold\"\u003eISBN-10\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"a-span9 a-align-center prodDetSectionEntry\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e0811234835\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"a-span3 prodDetSectionEntry a-text-bold\"\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"a-span9 a-align-center prodDetSectionEntry\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e978-0811234832\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SAUDADE TORONTO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50115523018975,"sku":null,"price":25.5,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1251\/1761\/files\/FullSizeRender_4c1a7b83-15a8-4cd4-a8b0-6ecf7cd0594e.jpg?v=1781450924"},{"product_id":"of-cattle-and-men","title":"Of Cattle and Men","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBy the International Booker Prize Shortlisted Author of \u003cem\u003eOn Earth As It Is Beneath\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAnimals go mad and men die (accidentally and not) at a slaughterhouse in an impoverished, isolated corner of Brazil.\u003c\/strong\u003eIn a landscape worthy of Cormac McCarthy, the river runs septic with blood.

It’s important to calm the cows, especially now that they seem so unsettled: they have begun to run in panic into walls and over cliffs. Bronco Gil, the foreman, thinks it’s a jaguar or a wild boar.
