Os Perigos do Imperador

The emperor really did spend three months travelling the young republic for its hundredth birthday. Here, his enemies at home see their chance. Drawn into the conspiracy are the poet Sousândrade, living in New York; a Herald correspondent, James O'Kelly; Deoclecio de Freitas, who publishes a rabid anti-royalist sheet; and Leopoldo Ferrão, the man chosen to strike, along with the whole imperial entourage. Journals, letters, press reports and leading articles break into the narration, leaving it unclear what really took place.
