Summary
Father Antônio de Morais, a young and ardent priest, arrives in the Amazon river town of Silves to convert the Indian peoples of the interior, with a pious scheme in his head and no knowledge of the region. Inglês de Sousa's naturalist novel *The Missionary* (1891) follows him as the forest, the town's people and his own senses test his vows. This book uses the racial and other slurs of its period as written; the Book Guide explains these words where they occur. This edition omits one or more passages describing sexual acts involving children; each omission is marked in the text.
