The City and the Mountains (Portuguese: A Cidade e as Serras) is a satirical novel comparing the emptiness of upper-class life in Paris with the pleasures found in rural Portugal. It was written in 1895 by Jos Maria de Ea de Queirs (18451900), also known as Ea de Queiroz, when he was living in Paris. The novel was published posthumously in Portuguese in 1901 with a final edit and an ending contributed by his friend, Ramalho Ortigo. The first English version, translated by Roy Campbell, was published by the Ohio University Press in 1967
