A. Campos Matos - Eça de Queiroz - Uma Biografia

The methodology adopted in this biography is based on a broad and careful selection of documents and commentaries, and a cautious interpretation thereof, which are, in short, fundamental requirements of the historian. It is not an inventory of facts, but an attempt to connect them and extract hidden meanings, unsuspected by the unwary reader. The art of the biographer should aim for this difficult goal. Numerous pieces of information and documents, some of which are little known or even unpublished, complete this edition.
