SOBRE THE MAIAS

A quando da publicação de The Maias,em Março de 2007,com tradução de Margaret Jull Costa,nove Reviews,pelo menos,deram conta de tão magno acontecimento:
Keith Richmond in Tribune
Publisher Weekly starred review
Jonathan Keates in the Times Literary Supplement
Sharon Diamond in The Western Daily Press
Michael Kerrigan in The Scotsman
Alan Riding inThe New York Times
Macela Valdes in The Nation
Michael Wood in The London Review of Books

Em Publisher Weekly Review ,vem:The neglect of the big Iberian 19th-century novelists-Galdós,Clarin and Queirós-remains a puzzle.
Em Library Journal Review,Maryland,escreve-se,também:The great saga(1888)by Portugal's greatest realistic writer has never gotten its due in the English-speaking world,which is ironic since much of it was written while its author served in the Portuguese consulate in England.

Dedalus Books,na indicação das Reviews,inclui, também ,o comentário de Saramago:"The greatest book by Portugal's greatest novelist".
