Portuguese novelist José Maria Eça de Queirós has been compared to Russian Leo Tolstoy and French Honoré .

Portuguese novelist José Maria Eça de Queirós has been compared to Russian Leo Tolstoy and French Honoré Balzac, and for a good reason – his debut (without a collaboration) book The Crime of Father Amaro (translated by Nan Flanagan in 1962) is a multi-faceted novel of great ambition and skill. In it, he tells of events taking place in a small cathedral town of Leiria, north of Lisbon. Even the title of the novel itself – The Crime (or Sin) of Father Amaro may be interpreted as being slightly misleading since the sin in the title may not actually be the one the reader would think of initially.

Eca de Queiros (1845-1900) was Portugal's greatest nineteenth-century novelist. He travelled widely as a diplomat and, though he considered himself an apostle of Naturalist Realism, he is at heart an ironist, with the severity and compassion of Stendhal.

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.

José Maria de Eça de Queirós (AY-suh duh kay-ee-ROHSH), also spelled Queirós, is generally regarded as.

José Maria de Eça de Queirós (AY-suh duh kay-ee-ROHSH), also spelled Queirós, is generally regarded as Portugal’s most important author of prose fiction. Eça, as he is known in Portuguese circles, was born an illegitimate child. His parents were later married, but he spent most of his childhood and adolescence separated from them. While The Sin of Father Amaro centers on a case of clerical impropriety, the narrow-mindedness of provincial life and the undue influence of local oligarchies are also exposed. The classic realist theme of adultery is treated in Cousin Bazilio, which is reminiscent of Gustave Flaubert’s Madame Bovary (1857).
