«A Paixão» is the novel by Portuguese writer Almeida Faria, published by Publicações Dom Quixote in paperback (192 pages, in Portuguese).
Considered a landmark of modern Portuguese literature, this novel-poem takes place on Good Friday at a rural estate in the Alentejo. Divided into three parts —Morning, Afternoon and Night— it alternates the interior monologues of its inhabitants —father, mother, children and employees— in a polyphony of voices that fuses the sacred and the profane.
First installment of the Lusitanian Tetralogy, originally published in 1965; this 2008 edition belongs to the BIS collection.
For readers interested in Portuguese literature and in the experimental novel of the 1960s.
