Fitz\u003c\/b\u003e (Translator)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSet in the Middle Ages but written in the early twentieth century, Eça de Queirós's novella, \u003ci\u003eSaint Christopher\u003c\/i\u003e, is a powerful indictment of those who profess the value of morality but who do not practice it. The narrative is just as relevant today--when issues of religion, hypocrisy, and social justice are more urgent than ever--as it was when it first appeared in 1912. Written as though it were the product of a dialogue between Jesus and Proudhon (whose theories animate much of the narrative), \u003ci\u003eSaint Christopher\u003c\/i\u003e challenges today's ethically motivated reader to do what the narrative's protagonist does, that is, take up the cause of the wretched and abused of this earth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJOSÉ MARIA DE EÇA DE QUEIRÓS\u003c\/b\u003e (1845-1900) is Portugal's foremost author of the nineteenth century and its most celebrated novelist before José Saramago.
