Arte De Furtar (The Art of Stealing) is a satirical and controversial work attributed to various authors, including António Sousa de Macedo, António Vieira, and Manuel da Costa. Published in 1744, this book offers a sharp critique of Portuguese society, exposing corruption and deceit through a series of observations and anecdotes. Subtitled 'Espelho De Enganos, Theatro De Verdades, Mostrador De Horas Minguadas, Gazua Geral Dos Reynos De Portugal, ' the book presents itself as a mirror of illusions, a theater of truths, and a general skeleton key to the kingdoms of Portugal.
Presented as a guide for those seeking to understand or even participate in the art of deception, the text satirizes the moral decay of the era. The work's enduring appeal lies in its incisive commentary on human nature and the timeless relevance of its themes. It remains a significant historical document offering insights into the social and political landscape of 18th-century Portugal.
