| Summary | "Os Filhos do Padre Anselmo" by António José da Costa Couto Sá de Albergaria is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Paulo, a young man of eighteen, who seeks to join a secret society known as the "Mão-negra" (Black Hand), which promises mutual aid and support among its members. The narrative likely explores themes of loyalty, sacrifice, and the moral dilemmas faced by its characters within the context of their relationships and societal obligations, particularly in terms of love and duty. The opening of the novel sets a somber and mysterious tone, beginning on a stormy autumn night. Paulo stands, seemingly waiting for someone, before being approached by Jorge, who invites him into a carriage. As they converse, it becomes clear that Paulo is eager to join the secretive Mão-negra association, despite the ominous rituals involved. Upon arrival, Paulo undergoes a series of trials, including a disturbing initiation ceremony that tests his courage and commitment. The initial chapters set the stage for a gripping tale of sacrifice and the struggle between personal desires and the stringent demands of loyalty to a clandestine group, hinting at the complex interplay of themes related to love, duty, and identity.
