| Summary | "O Mysterio da Estrada de Cintra" by Eça de Queirós and Ramalho Ortigão is a collection of letters to the "Diário de Notícias", written in the late 19th century. The work presents an intriguing narrative rooted in an extraordinary incident that occurs on the road to Cintra, involving elements of mystery, crime, and social commentary. The letters draw readers into a convoluted tale that reflects the complexities of human relationships and the darker aspects of society. The opening portion introduces a physician who recounts a bizarre event that transpired while he was riding with a friend along a quiet stretch of road. They encounter a stopped carriage and suspiciously masked individuals who attack them, leading to a dramatic turn of events. The physician ends up embroiled in an adventure filled with danger and enigma, including the discovery of a corpse and questions regarding a potential crime. As he navigates through the unfolding mystery, he contemplates the presence of a woman possibly involved in the sinister circumstances, setting the stage for a narrative filled with suspense and intrigue.
