Juremir's text is moving and hilarious, revealing the rhetoric of a passionate era in Brazilian politics and the press by retracing the memories of a gallery of characters still alive, more than fifty years after the shot that ripped through Brazil's bowels: the hired gun, the Beloved, the personal secretary, the eyewitness to history, the German \"spy,\" the son of the victim on Tonelero Street, the president's grandchildren, Lacerda's daughter, the aide-de-camp, Colonel Bejo Vargas's wives, the political heirs, and the caudillo's orphans. Only fiction can embrace the full complexity and truth of the Vargas enigma.","brand":"Totvsrj-record-dc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47159379591420,"sku":"9788577990566","price":49.9,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0722\/9197\/5420\/files\/96746a30cd77008f840178c39b18a8f2_3ecafd2d-855c-4b8f-ac94-7dda970acdfb.jpg?v=1778318552"},{"product_id":"um-escritor-no-fim-do-mundo","title":"A writer at the end of the world","description":"Michel Houellebecq is the most successful French writer of recent decades. Furiously cynical, hopeless, and at times surprisingly idealistic, Houellebecq's provocative style divides audiences and critics alike. His caustic, elegant, and pornographic prose is noticed wherever he goes, leaving trails of love and hate. But what really lies behind this ferocious facade? What enchants, moves, and affects him? In \"A Writer at the End of the World,\" Juremir Machado da Silva, one of Houellebecq's few friends, offers us glimpses of his visionary personality. Paradoxically, the Frenchman's reserve melted away when exposed to the cold of the southernmost tip of the Americas. Amid the beautiful, untouched, and wild Patagonian wilderness, the reserved Houellebecq, of few words and many enigmas, reveals himself to be a captivating, affectionate, and amusing person. Facing the ice wall of Perito Moreno, or accompanied by a fine Argentine wine, sheltered from the biting winds blowing from Antarctica, Houellebecq shares his impressions of literature. He speaks of children, parents, utopias, the past and the future, without any affectation. He ponders inspiration and why he writes. And he reflects on the therapeutic power of language, the value of art, beauty, humor, irony, and culture. More than a travelogue, A Writer at the End of the World is a blend of late anthropology and early sociology. It raises several essential and metaphysical questions. What's the difference between a seal and a sea lion? Is it worth having children when you can have a dog? How can you talk about literature on television? What isn't asked or answered is suggested. Or imagined. Houellebecq reveals himself to be a good singer, a great imitator, and an excellent photographer.","brand":"Totvsrj-record-dc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47159394959612,"sku":"9788501094988","price":59.9,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0722\/9197\/5420\/files\/319745d3e39b2f951fd2484e9b1e1534_3c68e2bc-389e-4c47-b15b-d28b1f8955e2.jpg?v=1778326255"},{"product_id":"raizes-do-conservadorismo-brasileiro","title":"Roots of Brazilian conservatism","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eIn Roots of Brazilian Conservatism, Juremir Machado da Silva points to ways to elucidate why Brazil is a country in debt to its own history.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003e Based on an analysis of political and journalistic discourses from the early 19th century, the author identifies conservative foundations that permeated the context of the signing of the Lei Áurea (Golden Law) and upon which the Brazilian Republic was built a year and a half later.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e Aware that freedom was not a concession, but a hard-won achievement for black people, the author demonstrates how the structure of commercial slave capitalism translated – and still resonates today – into intricate legislation, designed to serve specific interests, and into a cultural and ideological imaginary, constructed to justify the maintenance of privileges – even if this implied, at the time, the dehumanization and objectification of people.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eIn a lively text, the author reveals the origins of conservatism and the history of the quest for social equality in Brazil.

Memory and the Guardian reveals the correspondence of then-president João Goulart, begun in 1961 and interrupted in 1964, when, after calling for the country to undertake fundamental reforms, he was deposed by a media-civil-military coup. For nearly forty years, the guardian of this archive was cabinet official Wamba Guimarães, who two days after the coup, at Jango's request, left with two suitcases full of correspondence—keeping them safe until his death in 2003. In this book, Juremir Machado da Silva—winner of the Açorianos and APCA Awards for \"Raízes do Conservtismo Brasileiro\" (The Roots of Brazilian Conservatism)—seeks new meanings in the words of kindness, advice, and flattery to the president, gathered in 927 items, including letters, telegrams, reports, announcements, Christmas, birthday, and New Year cards, among other congratulations. Organizing the threads of an intricate web of interests, the author reconstructs the complex context of João Goulart's government and reveals the inner workings of power and the elite in Brazil. Transnationally and without social class restrictions, the documents written by ordinary citizens and Brazilian and international authorities reveal a politics based on patrimonialism, cartorialism, and coronelismo. A portrait of a Brazil that, unfortunately, still resonates with us.","brand":"Totvsrj-record-dc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47175431946492,"sku":"9788520013984","price":64.9,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0722\/9197\/5420\/files\/d02afb03f7dc3955fd9710444335c3eb.jpg?v=1778313575"},{"product_id":"1930-aguas-da-revolucao","title":"1930: Waters of revolution","description":"The 1930 Revolution, led by the states of Minas Gerais, Paraíba, and Rio Grande do Sul, culminating in the coup d'état that deposed President Washington Luís—preventing the inauguration of elected candidate Júlio Prestes and bringing Getúlio Vargas to power—was, for many historians, the most important movement in the history of 20th-century Brazil—the revolution that ended the dominance of oligarchies in the national political scene and the Old Republic. If every war is a war of versions, the 1930 Revolution is no different. In this novel about the conspiracies, facts, and causes of the movement, professor, writer, and journalist Juremir Machado da Silva gives voice to one of its soldiers, 98-year-old Gabriel d'Ávila Flores, who weaves together, with his memories, all the others. Between the intrigues of lieutenants and political strategies, Gabriel's life appears in the little things: his passion for a circus performer, his dream of joining the Porto Alegre Military College, his career in the Army. Gabriel fought alongside the legalists in 1930 against Getúlio Vargas's revolutionaries. In 1932, he joined the ranks of Getúlio Vargas's army against the São Paulo Revolutionaries. He fought, saw the Estado Novo come into power, and the return of democracy. He saw Getúlio return to power and the commotion caused by his suicide. He is the guide in an era of political upheaval. A time of almost quixotic men, overcoming obstacles only with courage and daring. Juremir Machado reveals here the revolution within the revolution. An unexpected and secret revolution. Getúlio Vargas's revolution within the 1930 Revolution. The social revolution within the conservatives' revolution. The revolution that would lead to the counterrevolution and that would go down in history. The Copacabana Fort uprising—a defeat that would trigger the victory that would come eight years later, under Getúlio Vargas's leadership—the statesman's relationship with his allies, the ideas that pleased and displeased everyone... Juremir analyzes all aspects of an episode replete with consequences for the shape of contemporary Brazil. A revolution that, in the words of its own organizers, was neither good nor bad. But indispensable and, as such, invincible.","brand":"Totvsrj-record-dc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47176727298300,"sku":"9788501091697","price":59.9,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0722\/9197\/5420\/files\/b709e560b45e8721a2198c6def44e218_34ee47b0-55cc-4a1f-8993-92ef81803ca7.jpg?v=1778317024"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.record.com.br\/en\/collections\/juremir-machado-da-silva.oembed","provider":"Editora Record","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
