"By 1945 it became clear that the Allies were winning the war, so President Roosevelt and other Allied world leaders continued their preparations for lasting peace between nations. U. S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt first coined the name "United Nations" in 1942 when representatives of 26 nations pledged their governments to continue fighting together against the Axis Powers. The next significant step towards creating this international body was a conference of delegates, to be held in San Francisco, called the United Nations Conference on International Organization (UNCIO). Unfortunately, President Roosevelt would not live to see his inspirational plans for peace come to fruition. Less than two weeks before he planned to open the United Nations Conference on International Organization, President Franklin D. Roosevelt suffered a massive stroke and died on April 12th, 1945. The nation immediately went into mourning. Just hours after FDR's death, Vice President Harry S. Truman was sworn in as the president of the United States. As his very first act as president, Truman decided to proceed with the upcoming San Francisco conference as scheduled." (from Wikipedia).…

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book is a historical introduction to the extensive restructuring of Portugal's laws during the reign of King Manuel I (1495-1521), centering around the comprehensive reform of the 'Foraes' (charters and laws governing the administration and rights of Portuguese cities, towns, and villages). It provides insights into the legal, administrative, and social landscape of Portugal during a pivotal period of transition and consolidation of its institutions. The author, a Portuguese historian, utilizes several primary sources from the Royal Archives of Torre do Tombo, including previously unpublished documents, to present a detailed account of the reforms. The book also examines the motivations, processes, and implications of the Foraes' revision, offering a glimpse into the evolution of local governance and the relationship between the monarchy and its subjects. The significance of this study lies in its contribution to the understanding of Portuguese legal history and its relevance to the development of modern legal systems and institutions in the country. By examining the origins and evolution of the Foraes, the book provides a valuable perspective on the foundations of Portuguese law and the historical context in which it emerged. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.…

Hardcover. Eles são mais curtos que um romance ou uma novela, surgiram a partir de narrativas transmitidas de geração em geração, transitaram pelo fantástico, pela lenda de cunho histórico, abordaram modos e costumes e também se alimentaram de intrigas. Esse tipo de texto literário, que hoje é identificado como conto, foi praticado mais do que se imagina por muitos escritores e escritoras brasileiras ao longo do século XIX. Em pleno Romantismo, o gênero foi se fixando no cenário das letras nacionais mostrando facetas bem mais diversas e interessantes do que tradicionalmente se confere à produção literária do período. Isso é o que revela a seleção inédita de textos preparada por Hélio de Seixas Guimarães e Vagner Camilo, ambos professores de Literatura da Universidade de São Paulo, lançada agora pela CARAMBAIA. A antologia O sino e o relógio é fruto de um trabalho de pesquisa e coleta minuciosa que durou mais de dez anos. Com ênfase em material raro, publicado apenas na imprensa da época, a coletânea abrange autores hoje esquecidos, porém relevantes no século XIX, e traz obras assinadas por nomes geralmente associados a outros gêneros e atividades, como os poetas Fagundes Varela e Casimiro de Abreu, o editor Francisco de Paula Brito e o dramaturgo Martins Pena. Entre as raridades da coletânea estão histórias escritas por mulheres, algumas pouco conhecidas hoje, como Corina Coaracy e Escolástica P. de L, ao lado de Nísia Floresta e Maria Firmina dos Reis. O conto de Coaracy, Conversações com minha filha: a mulher literata, é um surpreendente diálogo em que são expostas críticas à literatura praticada por mulheres. Outro aspecto interessante e incomum de O sino e o relógio é a inclusão de dois contos anônimos de boa qualidade. Ao todo são 25 narrativas publicadas entre 1836 e 1879. O livro se divide em quatro grandes conjuntos temáticos fantástico, histórico, cotidiano e intriga. São classificações que levam em conta a trama central dos contos, embora muitas vezes suas características se misturem. Essa disposição permite revelar que o Romantismo, tal como praticado no Brasil, abrangeu mais temas do que os tradicionalmente reconhecidos, como o indianismo ou a exaltação da natureza. Sobressaem na antologia os temas fantásticos e as crônicas de costume. Sobre o primeiro filão, os organizadores observam no prefácio que as histórias são povoadas de seres fantásticos como tatus brancos, fantasmas, vozes cavernosas e cadaverosas, instrumentos mágicos e malditos e uma noiva-cadáver. O título O sino e o relógio se refere aos temas do primeiro e último contos do volume, da autoria, respectivamente, de Franklin Távora e Machado de Assis, este já tendendo a uma abordagem irônica dos postulados românticos e adotando um desenlace amargo, mais aparentado ao realismo. Lado a lado com os nomes hoje pouco conhecidos estão autores canônicos do Romantismo como José de Alencar, Bernardo Guimarães, Joaquim Manuel de Macedo e Visconde de Taunay.…
