![]() Quote of the Day
Carcanet has always been the place to look for considerations of purely literary and intellectual merit. Its list relies on the vision and the faith and the energy of people who care about books, and values. It is thus as rare as it is invaluable.

The Yellow Sofa and Three PortraitsEca de QueirosTranslated by John Vetch![]()
This volume brings together four of Ea's beguiling shorter works. Alves comes home early to celebrate his birthday and finds Lulu, his wife, in the arms of another man, reclining on the eponymous yellow sofa. The Three Portraits are telling examples of the short story, another form in which Eca excelled.
