D. Pedro II - by Paulo Rezzutti

In D. Pedro II - The Untold Story, writer and researcher Paulo Rezzutti uses unpublished letters and documents to reveal the untold story of the last emperor of Brazil. From the prince who became regent as a boy to the republican-minded monarch who died in exile, the work fills in many gaps with extensive research into documents, letters and diaries to illuminate the life of a man who oozed culture and whose intimacy was much more intense than the white beard in his most famous portraits might suggest.

After demystifying D. Pedro I and D. Leopoldina, putting the great female characters of our past back in their rightful place of prominence in Mulheres do Brasil and narrating the romance that shook the First Reign in Titília e o Demonão, Rezzutti presents a D. Pedro II goes far beyond the emperor and the myth in the new volume of the Untold Story series.
