The Relic by Jos Eadequeirs
Teodorico Raposo, the novel's lascivious anti-hero is a master of deceit; one minute feigning devotion in front of his rich, pious aunt, in order to inherit her money, the next indulging in debauchery. Spurred on by the desire to please his aunt, and in order to get away from his unfaithful mistress, he embarks on a journey to the Holy Land in search of a holy relic. The resulting fiasco is a masterpiece of comic irony as religious bigotry and personal greed are mercilessly ridiculed.
Jose Maria De Eca De Queiros (1845-1900), Portugal's foremost novelist of the nineteenth century, is the author of The Maias and The Correspondence of Fradique Mendes.
