O Guarani 21.15 · 21.15

A satanic prayer

Read the full text in our reader

O italiano não respondeu; a sua oração foi uma blasfêmia horrível e satânica; as palpitações violentas do coração batiam de encontro ao pergaminho que tinha no seio, e lembravam-lhe o seu tesouro que ia talvez cair nas mãos de Álvaro e dar-lhe a riqueza de que não pudera gozar.

The setting

The Italian did not answer; his prayer was a horrible, satanic blasphemy; the violent throbbing of his heart beat against the parchment he had at his breast, and reminded him of his treasure, which might now fall into Álvaro's hands and give him the wealth he had never been able to enjoy.
