''Dragon's Teeth'' is a novel by Eça de Queirós, first published in 1889, that explores the complexities of marriage and societal expectations in late 19th-century Portugal. The story follows Jorge and Luiza, a couple whose domestic tranquility is threatened by the return of Luiza's cousin Bazilio, stirring themes of infidelity and societal constraints.
