A PAIXÃO CHINESA DE WENCESLAU DE MORAES

Leopoldo Danilo Barreiros

REF.16254

Year 1955

1stEdition

Lisbon; General Overseas Agency - Publications and Library Division; In-8º of 86 (2) pages; Illustrated; Broached

A work illustrated with several engravings and some facsimiles of letters unpublished by the author, printed on coated paper.
Leopoldo Danilo Barreiros (1910-1994), was born in Lisbon and settled in Macau in 1933. He became an important defender and promoter of oriental culture, especially his writings about Wenceslau de Moraes and Camilo Pessanha. For some this is one of the best works on the `Tokushima exile`.
"With the disclosure of these elements, we only intend to contribute to a better understanding of the affectionate feelings of Wenceslau de Moraes, especially as Father, and to `rehabilitate`, say, the figure of Atchan, a faithful companion and an extreme mother , distorted by the `legend` to justify or excuse the inconstancy of the lover ... These are simple documents, sometimes naive, in which a paternal heart vibrates and the love of the children, and glimpses glitter of longing for a sincere affection mercilessly buried by time and circumstance in the ashes of the past. "

Extensive political memoir published by Joaquim José de Azevedo himself, Viscount of Rio Seco, in which the author seeks to defend and clarify his public actions between 1807 and 1821, a period marked by profound political upheavals in the Luso-Brazilian world. The work covers the period from when D. João VI entrusted him with the preparations for the court's departure to Rio de Janeiro in November 1807, until his dismissal from all positions of financial responsibility in September 1821. Throughout the text, the Viscount presents documents, accounts, and justifications that seek to demonstrate the legitimacy of his administrative and political decisions, responding to criticisms and suspicions that fell upon his administration. This is a testimony of great historical value, revealing the inner workings of the Joannine administration, the tensions between Portugal and Brazil, and the difficulties of governance during a period of transition, offering a detailed view of the public life of one of the central figures of the Luso-Brazilian bureaucracy at the beginning of the 19th century.
