Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. When a young man from rural Minas Gerais arrives in Rio de Janeiro, the capital of the newly proclaimed Brazilian Republic, he expects civilization, refinement, and wonder. What he finds is far more dazzling-and far more dangerous.During eight intense days in the Federal Capital, the naive visitor is drawn into a world of elegant cafes, theaters, gambling rooms, salons, political vanity, seductive appearances, and moral confusion. Through his astonished eyes, Rio de Janeiro becomes both a spectacle and a warning: a city of brilliance, appetite, ambition, and disillusion.Originally published in the late nineteenth century, The Federal Capital: Impressions of a Sertanejo is one of Coelho Netto's sharpest portraits of urban Brazil at the dawn of the Republic. Blending satire, social observation, lyrical prose, and cultural contrast, the novel captures the clash between provincial innocence and metropolitan sophistication with humor, irony, and unexpected tenderness.This edition presents the complete English translation of A capital federal (impressoes de um sertanejo), accompanied by a translator's preface, explanatory notes, and editorial material for modern readers.Perfect for readers of Brazilian literature, nineteenth-century fiction, social satire, urban novels, and rediscovered classics of world literature.
