ABOUT THE WRITER...
Father António Vieira was a Portuguese philosopher, writer and orator and one of the most influential figures of the 17th century at a political and oratory level.
A notable prose writer, preacher and the best-known Portuguese religious speaker, António Vieira strongly defended the rights of indigenous peoples, combating their exploitation. They called him " Paiaçu " (Great Father/Father, in Tupi). António Vieira also defended the Jews and the abolition of slavery.
Called “emperor of the Portuguese language” by Fernando Pessoa, his sermons, inspired by Brazilian and Portuguese baroque, attracted crowds in Lisbon.
Father António Vieira wrote more than 200 sermons and 700 letters.
Some of his main works:
Sermão pelo bom sucesso das armas de Portugal contra as de Holanda (1640);
Sermão de Santo António aos peixes (1653);
Sermão da quinta dominga da quaresma (1654);
Sermão da sexagésima (1655).
“Men, with their evil and perverse desires, become like fish, which eat one another (…) and the big ones eat the small ones.”
- Sermão de Santo António aos peixes, Padre António Vieira.
