Published 2013 Nas últimas semanas de 1889, a tripulação de um navio de guerra brasileiro ancorado no porto de Colombo, capital do Ceilão (atual Sri Lanka), foi pega de surpresa pelas notícias alarmantes que chegavam do outro lado do mundo. O Brasil havia se tornado uma república. O império brasileiro, até então tido como a mais sólida, estável e duradoura experiência de governo na América Latina, com 67 anos de história, desabara na manhã de Quinze de Novembro. O austero e admirado imperador Pedro II, um dos homens mais cultos da época, que ocupara o trono por quase meio século, fora obrigado a sair do país junto com toda a família imperial. Vivia agora exilado na Europa, banido para sempre do solo em que nascera. Enquanto isso, os destinos do novo regime estavam nas mãos de um marechal já idoso e bastante doente, o alagoano Manoel Deodoro da Fonseca, considerado até então um monarquista convicto e amigo do imperador deposto. Essas e outras histórias surpreendentes estão em 1889, o novo livro do premiado escritor Laurentino Gomes. A obra, que trata da Proclamação da República, fecha uma trilogia iniciada com 1808, sobre a fuga da corte portuguesa de Dom João para Rio de Janeiro, e continuada com 1822, sobre a Independência do Brasil. 16/12/2013 Feliz Natal!New Elementary TitlesStranger in the woods : a photographic fantasy Call #: E SAM Sams, Carl R.
