Summary "Antonio" by Ernest Oldmeadow is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. The story unfolds in 19th-century Portugal and follows a young monk, Antonio, who grapples with his faith, the call of priesthood, and the tumultuous political landscape of his country, overshadowed by civil strife and the echoes of war. The novel explores themes of peace, duty, sacrifice, and the struggles inherent in remaining true to one's beliefs amidst external chaos. The opening of "Antonio" introduces us to the serene setting of a monastery where the protagonist, Antonio, reflects on his recent elevation to the priesthood and the enduring peace he experiences after years of conflict in Portugal. As he contemplates the dark history that led to his present peace, he recalls the doubts and temptations he's faced regarding his religious life. Just when Antonio begins to find solace in the tranquility around him, disturbances interrupt the monks' existence, signaling impending conflict as soldiers arrive at the monastery gate. The chapter sets the stage for a poignant exploration of faith, sacrifice, and the external struggles that threaten to disrupt the inner peace of the monastery and its residents.
