Almost twenty-five years after the death of Eáa de Queirós, his son, Josè Maria D'Eáa de Queiržs, discovered in 1924 an untitled and undated manuscript that contained neither revisions nor corrections. He painstakingly deciphered his father's nearly illegible script, titled the work, and published it as "Alves & Co." This work shows Eaa de Queirus going beyond his early novels, "The Sin of Fr. Amaro" and "Cousin Bazilio". The harsh focus of a narrow realism is now tempered by compassion for human folly. Although Eaa deals with the theme of adultery in several of his novels, only "Alves & Co." examines the subject from the wronged husband's point of view. The description of Godofredo da ConceiAa?~o Alves' efforts to salvage his honor while enduring the suffering that results from ridicule demonstrates Eáa's mastery of satire, humor, and psychological insight.
