"Dragon's teeth: A novel from the Portuguese by Eça de Queirós" is a novel written in 1878. In nineteenth-century Lisbon, bored housewife Luiza leads a comfortable but unexciting life with her engineer husband Jorge. When her husband travels for work, her former lover Bazilio returns after years abroad, reigniting their romance. But their affair produces love letters that fall into dangerous hands, setting off a chain of blackmail, betrayal, and devastating consequences
that will shatter multiple lives in bourgeois Portuguese society. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
