Sermão De Santo António Aos Peixes by António Vieira
A powerful Baroque sermon that frames Saint Anthony’s legendary preaching to the fishes as an extended allegory to expose human vices and social injustices; through vivid portraits of different kinds of fish representing corrupt magistrates, merchants, clergy and settlers, the preacher denounces greed, hypocrisy and the exploitation of indigenous and African peoples and calls for moral repentance and institutional reform, blending biblical rhetoric, irony and social critique.
