<p>Teodorico Raposo, the novel's anti-hero, is a master of deceit, one minute feigning devotion to his rich, pious aunt in order to inherit her money; the next, indulging in debauchery.

The resulting fiasco is a masterpiece of comic irony as religious bigotry and personal greed are mercilessly ridiculed.</p>
