Opis

A clumsy novel, an upside-down protagonist and a Rio de Janeiro that no one had ever dared to portray before. Memórias de um Sargento de Milícias, by Manuel Antônio de Almeida, is considered the most dissonant work of Brazilian Romanticism. In this book, we set out to discuss and analyse the author's constructions of time, space and characters, which break with the literary and social stereotypes of the early 19th century.
