Sinopsis
A powerful portrait of rural Portugal, now presented in English for modern readers.
Our People brings together the voices, landscapes, sorrows, faith, passions, and moral conflicts of nineteenth-century Portuguese village life. Written by Teixeira de Queiroz under the literary name Bento Moreno, this collection moves through country roads, humble homes, religious customs, family tensions, popular superstition, and the quiet tragedies of ordinary people.
With the eye of a realist and the sensitivity of a storyteller deeply attentive to human character, Queiroz portrays a world in which love, poverty, devotion, pride, and fate shape the lives of men and women bound to the land and to inherited customs. These stories are intimate, dramatic, and often haunting, revealing not only “our people” of Portugal, but the universal condition of communities struggling between tradition, desire, and change.
This English edition offers readers access to a significant work of Portuguese literature, preserving the atmosphere, dignity, and emotional force of the original while making it available to a wider international audience.
Ideal for readers of classic European fiction, Portuguese literature, rural realism, literary naturalism, and historical short stories.
