Descrição

When he died, D. Pedro left future generations of Brazilians with a difficult task: understanding the many contradictions of his life and extracting from his memories a faithful image of his personality, his ideas, anxieties and ambitions. To date, this task has not been well accomplished. amidst a tangle of speculations and historical distortions, the question still remained: who was the first emperor of Brazil? It was to answer this question that Paulo Rezzutti turned to a wide range of primary sources and original documents that reveal a myriad of unknown facets of D. Pedro, and that gave him access to the untold story of our first monarch - which you now have in hand.

Instead of the caricature that took over the national imagination, the author presents us with the man behind the emperor, with all the contradictions and richness of personality that transform him into one of the most interesting characters in our history - a man who, beyond the many mistresses, illegitimate children and reputation as a bully, he left us as a legacy a story of sacrifices in favor of national unity; a man full of moral defects and political contradictions, but who was linked to great passages in the history of world liberalism, and who, above all, lived an intense life full of humanity.
