1. Os Infortúnios Da Virtude
An innocent young woman, separated from her sister, remains committed to virtue yet suffers a relentless succession of betrayals, sexual violence, imprisonment and degradation at the hands of criminals, clergy and aristocrats; her unyielding morality is contrasted with the prosperity of the wicked in a deliberately shocking narrative that satirizes social and religious hypocrisy while probing the limits of virtue, vice and human suffering.
