Jos Maria De Ea De Queiroz (1845-1900)
Jos Maria de Ea de Queiroz or Ea de Queirs (November 25, 1845August 16, 1900) is generally considered to be the greatest Portuguese writer in the realist style. Zola considered him to be far greater than Flaubert. The London Observer critics rank him with Dickens, Balzac and Tolstoy. Ea never officially rejected Catholicism, but was very critical of the Catholic Church of his time, and of Christianity in general as is evident in some of his novels. He used the old-fashioned spelling "Ea de Queiroz" and this is the form that appears on many editions of his works; the modern standard Portuguese spelling is "Ea de Queirs".
