Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book is a meticulously composed collection of poems and forceful prose by an esteemed poet and journalist writing in the late 19th century. The author's main goal is to protest against a decision made by the government to hold an international exhibition in celebration of the great Portuguese explorer, Vasco de Gama, while the country was in heavy debt. They argue that it is an inappropriate action to be inviting the very people that the country owes money to, to an elaborate and expensive party, primarily designed to glorify the Portuguese Empire. These writings shine a harsh light on the corruption and poor financial decisions of the Portuguese government at that time, and also expose the controversial celebration that was funded with money the author felt should have been allocated elsewhere. Drawing on the rich history of Portugal and its people, the author also explores themes related to the country's unique identity, its historical legacy, and its place in the world. These insightful writings delve deeply into issues of national pride, honor, and the importance of responsible governance. This book is a valuable resource for anyone seeking a better understanding of 19th century Portuguese history, culture, and social and political thought.
