«El crimen del padre Amaro» is the realist novel by Eça de Queirós, published by Aguilar in paperback (481 pages, in Spanish).
The young priest Amaro Vieira moves to Leiría to exercise his ministry and soon discovers that parish life rests on appearances and interests. A forbidden passion and the contradictions of those who preach faith confront him with a moral conflict in which guilt and desire intertwine.
José Maria de Eça de Queiroz or Queirós is generally considered to have been the greatest Portuguese writer in the realist style. Zola considered him to be far greater than Flaubert. In the London Observer, Jonathan Keates ranked him alongside Dickens, Balzac and Tolstoy.
