The Illustrious House of Ramires (Portuguese: A Ilustre Casa de Ramires) was the final novel written by the Portuguese writer José Maria de Eça de Queirós (1845-1900) and was published posthumously. A new English translation, by Margaret Jull Costa, was published in 2017, together with an Afterword by the translator.[1] It has been described as a “satiric look at the existential state of Portuguese society on the brink of the modern age”.[2]
