Los mejores libros jamás escritos. «Por dentro se movían silenciosamente los deseos, como serpientes tranquilas en su nido.» Amado Vieira es un joven sacerdote que consigue ser trasladado de la parroquia rural en la que ejerce a otra en la bella ciudad de Leiría. Una vez allí, se ve inmerso en un ambiente de libertinaje y desenfreno, al que es arrastrado por un grupo de sacerdotes de la localidad; uno de ellos incluso llega a alojarle en casa de su amante. Es allí donde Amaro conoce a Amélia, la muchacha más hermosa de la ciudad y que devendrá la causa de su perdición. La publicación de esta obra, en 1875, desató un escándalo en el país no solo por el deseo del autor de ridiculizar al clero, sino también por su denuncia de la hipocresía de la sociedad de provincias. La presente edición incluye una introducción a cargo del escritor portugués José Luís Peixoto, quien conduce al lector hacia los entresijos de la obra que consagró a Eça de Queirós como una de las grandes figuras de la literatura universal. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION An unflinching portrait of a priest who seduces his landlady's daughter, made into an acclaimed and controversial motion picture. Eça de Queirós's novel The Crime of Father Amaro is a lurid satire of clerical corruption in a town in Portugal (Leira) during the period before and after the 1871 Paris Commune. At the start, a priest physically explodes after a fish supper while guests at a birthday celebration are "wildly dancing a polka." Young Father Amaro (whose name means "bitter" in Portuguese) arrives in Leira and soon lusts after--and is lusted after by--budding Amelia, dewy-lipped, devout daughter of Sao Joaneira who has taken in Father Amaro as a lodger. What ensues is a secret love affair amidst a host of compelling minor characters: Canon Dias, glutton and Sao Joaneira's lover; Dona Maria da Assuncao, a wealthy widow with a roomful of religious images, agog at any hint of sex; Joao Eduardo, repressed atheist, free-thinker and suitor to Amelia; Father Brito, "the strongest and most stupid priest in the diocese"; the administrator of the municipal council who spies at a neighbor's wife through binoculars for hours every day. Eça's incisive critique flies like a shattering mirror, jabbing everything from the hypocrisy of a rich and powerful Church, to the provincialism of men and women in Portuguese society of the time, to the ineptness of politics or science as antidotes to the town's ills. What lurks within Eça's narrative is a religion of tolerance, wisdom, and equality nearly forgotten. Margaret Jull Costa has rendered an exquisite translation and provides an informative introduction to a story that truly spans all ages.Shipping Notes

2 smell good, 2 not so good and it's made in China
These are interesting soaps. The inverted loofah sponge for the soap is in interesting idea. The black and green ones smell the best. They are made in China however so I'm going with a USA made one next. Dapper Yankee.

Good soap
Size: 5.3 Ounce (Pack of 4)
It was so good that my friends took some for themselves. Without asking. Bastarts... good deal though, smells very nice! Especially that whisky one. The coarse texture makes for a great clean!

Quality Men’s Soap
Size: 5.3 Ounce (Pack of 4)
I purchased this bar soap for my three grandsons and my granddaughter’s boyfriend. They are all in their 20s and liked the fact that the soap lasted longer than the soaps they usually use. I did give them each a different
scent and they appreciated the fact that the scent was not overwhelming, but subtle. Generally speaking, young men this age usually do not purchase quality soap or personal hygiene items mainly because of cost. They all were very pleased with the surprise gift and proceeded to use it immediately. I would compare it to the expensive Dr. Squatch bar soaps. I bought these on sale and felt like I had gotten a very good deal. It is a pleasure to give someone a gift that they normally would not purchase themselves. I will continue to shop this website for future purchases and wholeheartedly recommend Rinse and Robust Men’s Bar Soap.
