About the author

Joaquim Manuel de Macedo (June 24, 1820 — April 11, 1882) was a Brazilian novelist, medician, teacher, playwright and journalist, famous for the romance A Moreninha.

He is the patron of the 20th chair of the Brazilian Academy of Letters.

Joaquim Manuel de Macedo was born in the city of Itaboraí, in 1820, to Severino de Macedo Carvalho and Benigna Catarina da Conceição. Graduated in Medicine in 1844, he started to practice it in the inlands of Rio. In the same year, he published his romance A Moreninha. In 1849, he founded the magazine Guanabara, along with Manuel de Araújo Porto-alegre and Gonçalves Dias. In this magazine, many parts of his poem A Nebulosa were published.

Returning to Rio, he abandoned Medicine and became a teacher of History and Geography at the Colégio Pedro II. He was very linked to the Brazilian Royal Family, even becoming a tutor for Princess Isabel's children. He was also a provincial deputy and a general deputy, and a member of the Brazilian Historic and Geographic Institute.

During his last years of life, he suffered mental disturbies. Those disturbies deteriorated his health and made him die in May 11, 1882.

He was married to Maria Catarina de Abreu Sodré, the cousin of Álvares de Azevedo.

[Marina Blanco · Rating 4 out of 5]

Gostei bastante do livro, apesar de ter sido escrito no século XIX tem bastante em comum com as teorias políticas atuais e tudo entregue com muito humor.

Tiveram várias referências que eu não peguei, mas obviamente vou culpar minha falta de intelecto e não o conhecimento a mais de Joaquim Manuel de Macedo.

Vou tirar uma estrela apenas porque o livro tem um continuação o que não faz muito sentido em uma obra tão curta, as história poderia ter continuado neste livro mesmo.
