This lyrical drama set in biblical times offers a descriptive look at the landscape surrounding Jerusalem. For a learner of Portuguese, the text presents a challenge due to its early twentieth century vocabulary and complex, descriptive sentence structures. The author uses rich, evocative language to paint detailed scenes, which requires patience and a good dictionary. The themes focus on historical and religious settings, providing an immersive experience for those interested in classical literary styles and the nuances of older Portuguese prose.

Questions about this book
What level of Portuguese do I need for this book?
The estimate is C1, based on how common the words are and how long the sentences run. It is an approximation, not a test result. With a translation under every sentence you can start one level earlier than you would with a paper copy.
Is this book really free?
Yes. The text is in the public domain and comes from Project Gutenberg, so it costs nothing. In Lingo7 you open the book and read the first page for free; a subscription unlocks the whole library, the audio and the word practice.
How does reading with a translation work?
Lingo7 shows the original sentence and, right under it, the same sentence in your language. Tap a word to see what it means, hear it, and save it for practice. The translation is made while you read, so it works for any book and for 49 languages.
How long does it take to read?
About 1 h 44 min at a native pace, spread over 563 chapters. In a foreign language plan for more: half an hour a day finishes a book of this size in a few weeks.
