Lea was convinced that the Inquisition was not arbitrarily devised and implementedbut was an inevitable consequence of forces that were dominant in thirteenth-century Christian society. In order to give asfull a picture of the Inquisition as possible, Lea.

Sic transit horror mundiThe misery that was fascist and colonial Portugal.

And not just the misery of the regime, but the misery of the revolution that overthrew it, including its aftermath.Revolutions, violent or not, never have predictable consequences.

Just as America has recently taken a crap-shoot with Donald Trump so Portugal rolled the dice in the Carnation Revolution of 1974 that overthrew the remnants of Oliveira Salazar’s corporatist, Catholic totalitarianism and dismantled the Portuguese empire in African and East Timor. And just as Trump will find that the undoing of international trade arrangements causes as much disruption as their creation, so Portugal found that the undoing of Salazar’s legacy was in many ways more painful than its continuation. Sadly, apart from anything else, revolution releases greed, envy and retribution far more readily than it does justice, equality and respect, particularly if you're a woman.

As a consequence the net revolutionary effect on the human condition approaches zero, and does nothing to avoid the inevitability of human death. Sic transit.Lobo Antunes has developed a unique way of telling a uniquely Portuguese story.

Neither straightforward narrative nor stream of consciousness, his prose is what might be called multi-temporal; it jumps back and forth within the same paragraph, sometimes within a single sentence, over a forty or fifty year period, recalling events, emotions, and sensations into a coherent present, and punctuating that present with repetition of its most important phrase. It is also all recounted in the first person, but by at least a dozen persons, each with his own voice (and vice), whose narratives inter-weave.It sounds complicated but, amazingly, the technique is not at all difficult to follow. In fact it is an extremely effective way to tell this complex cultural story. Lobo Antunes’s construction of individual histories is never too laboured. And his sequencing of narratives is perfectly timed.

For my money The Inquisitors Manual is as good as the best of Jose Saramago. And because of a geographic realism that rivals that of Saramago, one can readily enter Lobo Antunes world South of the Tagus via Google Earth as an additional treat. My first contribution to goodreads. I picked the last novel I've read that really wowed me.I'd heard about Antunes from a number of people; this is the first novel I've read. Stylistically brilliant, and clearly the work of a master empathist. Postmodern techniques that I've seen many authors wear like expensive suits are the ink in his pen.

The theme is weighty - tyranny, on a large and a small scale, so not an easy book to read. I at first winced at the comparisons to Faulkner printed on My first contribution to goodreads.

Can't wait to read more of his work, and can't believe it took me this long to find my way to him: ) Highly recommended, though were I to loan this to someone I'd warn them that the journey will be one through dark places. Be prepared to navigate by touch alone, and watch out for sharp corners. This ultimately simply story of why a marriage fell apart is told through a complex unfolding of many and diverse narrative voices. Despite the broad scope and diversity of his narrators, Antunes is never even close to confusing an attentive reader. We always know where we are in the story; and, although it is not quite a page-turner, we are always keen to follow the tales next but then.One aspect deserving special mention is the authors brilliant use of repetition I dont recall ever seeing so This ultimately simply story of why a marriage fell apart is told through a complex unfolding of many and diverse narrative voices.

We always know where we are in the story; and, although it is not quite a page-turner, we are always keen to follow the tale’s next “but then”.One aspect deserving special mention is the author’s brilliant use of repetition – I don’t recall ever seeing so much repetitive phrasing used to such good effect.

It ramps up the satirical tone a treat. Paranoia, power, and submission. Antunes conveyed those three human emotions through a multitude of characters, using Portugal's 1974 Carnation Revolution as a backdrop.

Richard Zenith did an amazing job translating this from Portugese to English as the prose is superb. Some may be offput by the structure and grammer, but I felt it really contributed to the themes of the novel.This book might not be for everyone, but for me, its one of the best novels Ive read that I have no intention of Paranoia, power, and submission.

If you 'enjoyed' Conrad's Heart of Darkness or anything by Cormac McCarthy this is a must read. Antunes has made me a fan and I am looking forward to reading his other novels! This novel was a major disappointment from a novelist who a few years ago I was prepared to worship.

Let me just say that all his novels from the 1980s are worth the effort, including his masterpiece, 'Fado Alexandrino.' In an interview in the late 1990s, Lobo Antunes said that he was going to change his style, to block the barrage of metaphors that had made his early novels so amazing. Apparently, he used them because he felt insecure; now he was just going to trust, I don't know, content?

Apparently, he used them because he felt insecure; now he was just going to trust, I don't know, content? The sheer importance of whatever he had to say about that marketing ploy called 'the human condition'? That's never good news.It turns out he changed a bit earlier because 'The Inquisitor's Manual' is pretty much straightforward, jornalistic prose from start to finish.

Good luck finding a memorable metaphor or simile. They used to come in dozens per page before this. It seemed like he couldn't turn them off, like he thought only in bizarre images and comparisons. The world was constantly being reshaped in his unpredictable sentences.It turns out that Lobo Antunes, stripped of this rich imagery, is as conventional as Charles Bukowski. What you're left with is kitchen sink bourgeois drama that hammers you on the head with 'relevance' and 'depth' (He's writing about fascism!).Sure, he'll fool you into thinking the writing is elaborate because he breaks thoughts down into poetic verses and makes longueurs, but if you focus on the word combination you start realizing the words are all part of linear, telegraphic, ordinary sentences as ordinary as a newspaper article's. He just puts lots of these together and adds commas.Once upon a time I thought this novelist was on par with Vladimir Nabokov, Alexander Theroux, William H. Gass, and Paul West, rich baroque stylists who explore language's potential.

On the merit of his 1980s novels he certainly is. But if this one is an indication of where his prose went afterwards, there's nothing here for me. I hope it was just a slip.

Reading this book is like entering a corridor of an asylum or a prison full of people who hates each other, shouting at each other, blaming each other.It is the most 'noisy' book that I've read. It centers around the fall of an ex-government minister, who was once very respected and was once the most feared person in the whole country.While it is written without a pause (each chapter goes on without point marks, which in turn makes us feel entering a very tense atmosphere), it is very Reading this book is like entering a corridor of an asylum or a prison full of people who hates each other, shouting at each other, blaming each other.It is the most 'noisy' book that I've read. It centers around the fall of an ex-government minister, who was once very respected and was once the most feared person in the whole country.While it is written without a pause (each chapter goes on without point marks, which in turn makes us feel entering a very tense atmosphere), it is very cinematic.

There are many beautiful scenes, notably the scene where the housekeeper witnessed a quarrel through reflection of mirrors. I think, it is the most beautiful description of a quarrel in literature (I haven't read much, so maybe I will find another later).The cinematic scenes continue throughout the book. The nightmarish style reminds me of Shutter Island by Martin Scorsese combined with Inception by Christopher Nolan. Hence, it is the best book of Antunes that I've read so far. And the ending.my God, it's one of the best ending. I had about 10 pages left to read before going away for 2 weeks and didn't want to carry a hardback. So I've sort of finished it.

Trying to think of something more original or thoughtful to write than 'I liked it' but. Okay, I liked it. It is the kind of book that I'm a bit tired of lately (interconnected anecdotes from a lot of different characters that don't really add up to a story), but I didn't mind it. My main issue with the book was that there was a bit too much offhand rape/forced sex I had about 10 pages left to read before going away for 2 weeks and didn't want to carry a hardback.
