【 摘 要 】

This paper aims to analyze the rewriting of the New Testament and the social criticism in the short story “A morte de Jesus” [Jesus’ Death] by Eça de Queirós, based mainly on critics such as Saraiva (1982), Bueno (2000) and Nery (2005). The author of Prosas Bárbaras approaches a well-known view of the religious text from the perspective of a fictional character not found in the Bible. Nevertheless, we note that this text presents a critical vision of the character Jesus, going beyond the canonical biblical version. Moreover, the society of the time of Christ is portrayed in a similar way to the one of the nineteenth century, highlighting the hypocrisy and the materialism present in these two societies. This suggests that as Eça reconstructs the past to tell a story known by the readership, he reflects about the nineteenth century.
