The lengthy procession very slowly walks along the winding path, down on the muddy road, in the valley, as the cold , misty morning rain, pours unceasingly from above, obscuring them, the streams overflow, the umbrellas help little, thoroughly drenched, they do not notice, nobody speaks, some men are in uniforms of various colors and designs, one young man nearly collapses, the women in dark clothing, and continue in the endless journey, step by monotonous step, then climbing into the clouds, as [...]

Quoting Ramalho Ortig o The book of Mr E a de Queir s offers us the first example of a work of art suggested by consideration of a problem And yet The Crime of Father Amaro is in no way a criticism of the book, is a pure art book in the highest sense of the word the drama begins, unfolds and ends in one breath, walking to their outcome, right, ruthless, as a trace scratched by fate, through that narrow province of life, to its local gossip, their petty characters, their priests, their butts, the [...]

Padre Amaro is a young Catholic priest who falls in love with young girl Amelia When this was first published this created an uproar in Portugal in 1875 because of its openly depiction of sex and forbidden love When its movie adaptation was shown in 2002, the several religious organizations in Mexico attempted to prevent its showing The movie became an international blockbuster and made Gael Garcia Bernal born 1978 a Mexican actor and director as a household name I saw that movie and I liked it [...]

The first novel I read by E a de Queir s was his magnificent, meandering family saga The Maias, a masterpiece that deserves to be far better known than it is at least in the English speaking world The Crime of Father Amaro is also an excellent novel, though rather different in character its satire is savage and relentless, and it is prepared to use blunter techniques to make its points The two novels are similar in their impatience with the provincialism and backwardness as the author saw it of [...]

This is NOT a love story This is about the ugly corruption of power, not that it in itself is a new theme, but this was written in the mid 1800 s in Portugal, about a catholic priest who seduces a young innocent girl from his parish Of course, the young girl believes it is love, and of course, for Father Amaro it is just a roll in the creche He is so despicable and he is so well understand by our writer that the story just keeps you mesmerized You must keep reminding yourself of when and where t [...]

Why is this so good It is superbly vivid When the characters are slurping their fish stew, belching loudly, or sitting playing cards by the glow of the gas lamp we are hovering at their elbows, our senses almost physically assailed by the power of the description It is a brilliant evocation of small minded provincialism, religious hypocrisy, sex, and power It is not, in itself, a criticism of Christianity there are a few morally good characters, priests among them it is the Pharisees who are ske [...]
