A forgotten Portuguese historical novel of intrigue, faith, betrayal, and revenge-now available in English.
Set in sixteenth-century Portugal during the reign of King John III, The New Christian brings readers into a world of royal jealousy, religious suspicion, courtly ambition, and hidden violence. At the center of the story stands the mysterious Badage, a powerful and defiant figure whose fate becomes entangled with kings, priests, nobles, inquisitors, and the machinery of the Portuguese court.
Diogo de Macedo's novel blends political drama, historical fiction, and moral conflict, portraying a society where loyalty is fragile, forgiveness is rare, and private vengeance can move behind the mask of public virtue. From royal banquets and hunting grounds to secret prisons and the shadow of the Holy Office, the narrative unfolds with the intensity of a nineteenth-century historical romance and the atmosphere of a dark Iberian tragedy.
This English edition preserves the elevated tone of the original while making the novel accessible to modern readers. It includes translator's notes, a preface, and an afterword to guide readers through the historical, religious, and literary context of the work.
Perfect for readers of classic historical fiction, Portuguese literature, religious drama, and forgotten nineteenth-century novels.
