Item description from seller
New; Isabel Lustosa escreve que d. Pedro I "é o personagem mais fascinante da história do Brasil" impulsivo, desconfiado e vingativo, traiu amigos fiéis e foi implacável com os inimigos. Transitando entre o grande panorama da história brasileira e europeia no século XIX e o retrato íntimo de Pedro de Bragança e Bourbon, ela prova o seu ponto com verve e conhecimento de causa.O primeiro imperador do Brasil teve uma trajetória marcada por contradições. Personalidade forte e intempestiva, à qual não faltava um grão de loucura, d. Pedro era capaz dos gestos mais grosseiros, até brutais, mas também das maiores delicadezas. A forma familiar com que tratava a todos causava espanto aos estrangeiros, porém agradava ao povo; seu talento musical fazia par com a habilidade do cavaleiro, capaz de percorrer o caminho entre Rio e São Paulo em tempo recorde.Nascido em Portugal, aderiu à causa dos brasileiros e fez a Independência; filho de um rei absolutista, foi sempre um homem de ideias liberais e deu constituições ao Brasil e a Portugal sem se desapegar da ideia de que ele continuava a ser o legítimo herdeiro da Coroa portuguesa. Com isto, lutou e se sacrificou para garantir que sua filha fosse coroada rainha de Portugal e seu filho, imperador do Brasil.; 368 pages.…

No plano pessoal, d. Pedro I tratava as esposas (sobretudo a primeira) e amantes (cinco, contando apenas aquelas com quem teve filhos) de maneira pouco cavalheiresca. Era duro no trato e agressivo no comportamento. Mas, apesar de tantos defeitos, o primeiro imperador acabou sendo um herói à sua maneira, como demonstra Isabel Lustosa. Era amado pelos brasileiros, tinha um real talento jornalístico (se bem que sua gramática e sintaxe fossem pouco canônicas, para dizer o mínimo) e, mais importante, estava sintonizado com os ares do tempo. Pode ter proclamado a Independência num arroubo, mas desafiou as Cortes lusitanas, liderou, na Bahia, uma guerra difícil contra a metrópole e outorgou a mais duradoura das constituições nacionais, que esteve em vigor por quase sete décadas.
Foi, igualmente, um herói na Europa. Apeado do poder no Brasil, foi recebido pelos liberais do Velho Continente como um príncipe americano iluminado, ainda que um tanto exótico. Desafiando os bem-pensantes, formou um exército de mercenários e invadiu Portugal, disposto a recuperar o trono para a filha. A guerra durou três anos e foi sangrenta. D. Pedro só a venceu, derrotando um exército de 80 mil homens, porque a transformou em guer[…]
