Most narratives of Eça de Queiroz is aimed to the so-called realism / naturalism. At the end of the nineteenth century, Eça has its climax with the final publication of O Crime do Padre Amaro (1875), the subject of great social criticism. But what interests us in this work is the fact that at this very moment, the author has given way to a fantastic and humorous literature, which takes place with the publication of O mandarim. Eça can show their works in a game between fiction and reality, because even being a pioneer in Portugal Realism, fantasy fits perfectly in his novels and short stories. And in some of his works, the characters travel to the East cause some hesitation in the reader, which comes into contact with this image as Eastern scrutinized and observed by the Western view. This study aims to analyze and present spatial features and two fantastic works of Eça de Queiroz: O mandarim and A relíquia, from the perspective of writers such as Edward Said, in his work Orientalism, that emphasizes the concept of Orientalism. It\'s important to note here that O mandarim and A relíquia are not the only two works that focus on the issue, since many other works of Eça portray the East.
