"A Ilustre Casa de Ramires" by Eça de Queirós is a realist novel published in 1900. The story follows Gonçalo Mendes Ramires, a nobleman from a small Portuguese town who aspires to enter politics. To gain recognition, he writes a historical novel about his thirteenth-century ancestor, a valiant knight. Yet his literary talents prove questionable, and his moral character equally dubious. Through parallel narratives of past heroism and present mediocrity, Eça crafts a sharp commentary on Portuguese society and tradition. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
