Book, Jussiape, the city where nothing happened - by Helena Vieira

"Language: Brazilian Portuguese. Book - Jussiape, the city where nothing happened
""Since I was six, seven years old, I realized that my father wasn't like the parents of my classmates. He was a strict former seminarian, a man whose loud, peremptory voice made me cringe.

As an adult, I decided to find answers in my ancestors and reached my great-great-grandfather, Antônio Vieira da Costa, a Portuguese merchant who came from the City of Porto to the 'City of Bahia' and went bankrupt after betting everything he had on a D. John VI. His story is a wide-open window into historical events in Portugal, such as the Order of Christ, and in Brazil, such as Mata-Marotos, as the persecution of the Portuguese became known after the independence of Bahia, on July 2, 1823.
Sabino, one of his sons, already born in Caetité, in the high backlands, was successful as a notary of the empire. He had many children and enslaved people and faced the fury of local society when he left his wife and established another family. Sabino sent an enslaved woman on a 1,300 km journey on foot and in chains, to be sold to coffee farmers in São Paulo."
