| Summary | "O Primo Bazilio: Episodio Domestico" by Eça de Queirós is a novel written in the late 19th century. The book delves into themes of infidelity, social norms, and personal relationships, primarily focusing on the lives of Jorge and Luiza, a newly married couple. The narrative sets the stage for the potential upheaval that the arrival of a mysterious cousin, Bazilio, might bring into their seemingly idyllic domestic life. The opening of the story introduces us to Jorge and Luiza on a hot Sunday, just after their lunch. As Jorge prepares for a journey to the Alentejo, he expresses nostalgia for the comforts of home and fond memories of his wife. Luiza is depicted as an introspective and somewhat dreamy character, juxtaposed against the domestic backdrop filled with reminders of their past together. As they converse, we learn of the impending visit from the cousin Bazilio, which sparks a mix of excitement and foreboding, hinting at romantic entanglements and possible challenges to their marriage. The scene is rich in detail, showcasing the couple's dynamics while foreshadowing the complexities that will arise with Bazilio's return. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
