Resumo(s)
Several ideas taken seriously by the Portuguese economist, historian and social theorist Oliveira Martins (1845-94), and as such exposed in an academically respectable
fashion, suffer a literary parody by his friend, the novelist Eça de Queirós (1845-1900), in his oriental novels, in a tonality in which dominate the chiaroscuro and the labyrinthlike mood. Amongst those are: the importance of randomness in history, Arian
supremacy and the opposition between the so-called European and Chinese models of
economy and society. Distancing himself from the alleged erudition and scientific
positions of Martins, Eça allows himself to express sympathy towards the whole of
human experience. The social reality towards which Eça was less sympathetic was indeed probably… the Portuguese one.
