About this Item
"A denominacao "Borges de Medeiros e o seu tempo" nao pode, a rigor, ser considerada um elogio, mas apenas um marco da cronologia, pois abarca realmente todo um vasto corte longitudinal na cronica republicana do Rio Grande e do pais. Nao so pela vigilencia de seu longo governo, senao ainda mais pela incontestavel influencia que S. Excia. exerceu mesmo quando se acheva distante de poder e ate no ostracismo ou no exilo . Se algum valor chegam a ter livros, como este, nao estara na perfeicao literaria (esta nem de longe me atraiu) mas, por assim dizer, no comprimento de un dever de civismo, entregando a posteriade alguns elementos com que escrevera a historia verdadeira, isenta de equivicos casuais ou propositais." [Carta do Autor] The author, who went on to much success as legislator, author, and diplomat, was mentored by Borges de Medeiros, and witnessed at first hand his outmaneuverings and humilations by Vargas. Though occasionally melancholy reading, there is much admirable history pertaining to the politics of Rio Grande do Sul and its relations with Minas Gerais and the national government during the'20s, '30s and '40s. 401 pages; plus X [10] pages prefatory matter. Covers have partial creases and discoloration, and show partial loss at backstrap; rfEP is clipped; text (some of which is unopened) is strong and clean. though coloring at edges.
