The Yellow Sofa and Three Portraits
Eca de Queiros
Translated by John Vetch
- Description
- Author
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.
