DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Estas memórias, escritas pelo ex-secretário particular de Carlota Joaquina, o espanhol José Presas, expõem as correspondências da esposa de D. João VI, sua vida privada, suas ambições políticas e outras de caráter íntimo. Publicado pela primeira vez em Bordeaux, em 1830, na casa impressora Carlos Lawalle, o volume ainda apresenta outros documentos. Acredita-se que a obra tenha sido escrita com intuitos escusos pelo ex-secretário. Seja como for, o livro serviu de fonte a inúmeros historiadores. Nele estão as correspondências de Carlota Joaquina para autoridades espanholas e a trama para se apossar da coroa do Prata, em detrimento dos interesses de seu próprio irmão, o rei Fernando VII, da Espanha. E, mais tarde, a aspiração de Carlota ao trono espanhol. O volume, cheio de intriga, malícia e revelações palacianas, “é um dos livros mais pitorescos e mais ricamente informativos que se escreveram sobre o período regencial do Brasil”, na opinião de Raimundo Magalhães Junior. Também revela o caráter político e humano de uma das mais controversas personalidades da história do Brasil e de Portugal.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →For two hundred and seventy years, the House of Braganza provided the kings and queens of Portugal. During a period of momentous change, from 1640 to 1910, this influential family helped to establish Portuguese independence from their powerful Spanish neighbors and saved the monarchy and government from total destruction by the marauding armies of Napoleon. The Braganzas also ruled the vast empire of Brazil from 1822 to 1889, successfully creating a unified nation and preventing the country from splitting into small warring states. In his fascinating reappraisal of the Braganza dynasty, Malyn Newitt traces the rise and fall of one of the world’s most important royal families. He introduces us to a colorful cast of innovators, revolutionaries, villains, heroes, and charlatans, from the absolutist Dom Miguel to the “Soldier King” Dom Pedro I, and recounts in vivid detail the major social, economic, and political events that defined their rule. Featuring an extensive selection of artworks and photographs, Newitt’s book offers a timely look at Britain’s “oldest ally” and the role of monarchy in the early modern European world.
