O Primo Basílio ("Cousin Basilio") is one of the greatest realist novels of the Portuguese author José Maria Eça de Queirós, also known under the old-fashioned spelling Eça de Queiroz. He worked in the Portuguese consular service, stationed at 53 Grey Street, Newcastle upon Tyne, from late 1874 until April 1879. The novel was written during this productive period in his career, appearing in 1878.
[edit] TV adaptation
In 1988 the Brazilian company Rede Globo produced a television adaptation of O Primo Basílio in 35 episodes, starring the then rising star Giulia Gam and renowned actors Marcos Paulo and Tony Ramos. Although never rerun, this production contains some of the best dramatic moments delivered by the actors involved, especially the villainous Juliana, played by Marília Pera.
