A Correspondencia De Fradique Mendes (Classicos Da Literatura Portuguesa) - Tapa blanda

Fradique Mendes, modernist poet, philosopher, ultracivilized and well-traveled sophisticate, the St. Paul of 'Babism,' never existed. A creation of EÇa de QueirÓs, Mendes' life and 'philosophy' is told in the biography and letters in A CorrespondÊncia de Fradique Mendes. But, like the 'poetry' that he creates, Fradique Mendes is form without content; good manners, knowledge and experience, but not productive. As such he is QueirÓs' critique of the morality and conduct of the bourgoeisie.
