QR code
"O Marquez de Pombal (folheto para poucos)" by Manoel Caldas Cordeiro is a critical historical account written in the late 19th century. The book examines the controversial figure of Sebastião José de Carvalho e Mello, known as the Marquess of Pombal, who was a key minister under King José I of Portugal. It explores Pombal's reign, political actions, and particularly his notorious cruelty, including the execution of those he regarded as conspirators
against the state. In this exploration, Cordeiro critiques Pombal's methods and policies, portraying him as a tyrant consumed by vindictiveness. The narrative uncovers the tragic fate of the Tavora family and others executed under Pombal's orders, framing these events within a context of political intrigue and societal oppression. Cordeiro emphasizes the brutal nature of justice during this period, revealing a legacy mingled with bloodshed and authoritarianism. Through meticulous references to historical events and figures, the author sheds light on the darker sides of Pombal’s reforms, ultimately challenging the glorified image that has often been attributed to this prominent historical figure.
