O Primo Basílio, is Queirós' criticism of the bourgeoisie in Lisbon during his life. Luísa and Jorge's marriage is apparently happy, but while Jorge lives far away on business, Basílio, a handsome and cynical bon vivant who once dated Luísa, returns and seduces her. But Luísa's traitorous maid, Juliana, intercepts a letter between the two, and blackmail's Luísa. On his return, Jorge suspects nothing, and even though Juliana dies in an attempt to imprison her, Luísa falls ill from her guilt and dies, after confessing her adultery.

Fradique Mendes, modernist poet, philosopher, ultracivilized and well-traveled sophisticate, the St. Paul of 'Babism,' never existed. A creationof Eça de Queirós, Mendes' life and 'philosophy' is told in the biography and letters in A Correspondência de Fradique Mendes. But like the 'poetry' that he creates, Fradique Mendes is form without content, good manners, knowledge and experience, but not productive. As such he is Queirós' critique of the morality and conduct of the bourgoeisie.

Returning from Brazil, Bazilio tells his cousin Louisa of the brave new world. His revelation leads to a evastating conclusion. "O Primo Bazilio has a far deeper tragedy than Madame Bovary" wrote Roy Campbell, "because the girl involved is . . . a most loveable character. One of the most tragic novels of the nineteenth century."
