«Os Maias»: como os espaços contam a história

In this episode 5, we analyze "Os Maias" by Eça de Queirós, through a reading focused on the symbolism of spaces. More than just settings, houses, cities, and places become fundamental elements of the narrative, revealing the fate of the characters and the workings of 19th-century Portuguese society. From the Palacete de Benfica to the Ramalhete, from Santa Olávia to Coimbra, passing through Lisbon and Sintra, each space contributes to the construction of a critical and profoundly symbolic vision of reality. ________________________________________ 📚 REFERENCE WORKS «Os Maias», Eça de Queirós «Sentimento dum Ocidental», Cesário Verde ________________________________________ 🏷️ TAGS Os Maias, Eça de Queirós, Portuguese literature, realism, naturalism, summary of Os Maias, analysis of Os Maias, spaces of Os Maias, symbolism of Os Maias, Ramalhete, Carlos da Maia, Afonso da Maia, Maria Eduarda, school literature, Portuguese national exam
