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

Very light color. Excellent product
Size: 1.76 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I wanted a mineral based, spf 50 tinted sunscreen for my face. Have previously had squamous cancer removed from my face and a high spf was important . I had a sample of another brand I fell in love with, but a high price kept me from buying it. I read the reviews on VGO and felt it was very similar at a price I could afford . I was impressed by the their clinical research, ingredients and statements. It does blend well on the skin, does not crease in my wrinkles, stays on very good through perspiration and can be worn alone without makeup or used as a base. I loved it. I took a star off because it is to white. Their statement said the color is light to medium. It doesn't get close to a medium color and actually is too light for this white girl. (70 year old woman.)

Thick, doesn't blend
Size: 1.76 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I hated this. It claims to have no white cast but thats just becuase the tinted color sits on top of your skin and gives a really caked on look. It is impossible to rub in and just feels like cheap sunscreen. It was very expensive for the small tube. I wouldn't recommend this at all.
