Synopsis
In the turbulent Portugal of the nineteenth century, loyalty, faith, love, and vengeance collide in a country torn between absolutist and constitutionalist forces.
Friar Simão’s Guerrilla is a historical novel of civil conflict, religious passion, and personal tragedy. At its center stands José Maximo, a man shaped by political upheaval, romantic disappointment, exile, and war. Around him moves a vivid cast of friars, soldiers, villagers, aristocrats, conspirators, and women caught between family duty and private suffering.
Alberto Pimentel reconstructs a dramatic period of Portuguese history with the intensity of a romantic novelist and the eye of a chronicler. The result is a sweeping narrative of devotion and betrayal, where public violence and private heartbreak become inseparable.
This translated edition brings a forgotten Portuguese historical novel to English-language readers, preserving its nineteenth-century atmosphere while making its language accessible to a modern audience. Rich in political tension, religious imagery, and emotional drama, Friar Simão’s Guerrilla will appeal to readers of historical fiction, classic literature, Iberian history, and novels set amid civil war and ideological conflict.
