The article focuses on the book "Consider the Lilies of the Field," by Erico Verissimo and translated by Samuel Putnam. Verissimo's novel, which was issued first in Porto Alegre in 1938 and has just been published here in a vigorous if uneven translation by Putnam, went through eight Portuguese editions in the first two years and is said to have reached the 100,000 mark -a record in Brazilian publishing. It was translated almost immediately into Spanish and its appearance in English is late. It is a love story with sociological overtones. Its hero is a bright boy called Eugenio Fontes, son of a poor tailor and a patient mother, who grows up under the pressure and shame of poverty.
