Under this pseudonym, he published the five fundamental books of Spiritism, including The Spirits' Book (1857) and The Mediums' Book (1861).

Eugênio de Proença Sigaud (1899 - 1979), from Minas Gerais, is known as the painter of laborers, intensely and militantly exploring a clearly social theme in his canvases and murals. He depicted workers in their productive context, amidst constructions with iron structures, concrete, scaffolding, typical of construction sites, but also in the streets, amidst traffic, in factories, railways, bridges, shipyards, and then moving from the city to the countryside. He worked with architect Lúcio Costa in 1931, participated in the Grupo Portinari in 1935, supported communist candidate Carlos Prestes in 1946, and produced numerous important works, exhibited in Brazil and abroad.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"I am a communist and an engineer; I have always dealt with laborers, which explains the choice of my themes.

Through readings, observations, travels, and encounters, he gradually acquired real knowledge in these research fields despite the little time left by his political and administrative responsibilities as Emperor of Brazil.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOften accused of being indifferent to the country's social and political issues, leading Brazilian newspapers to frequently depict him with a telescope in hand, a clear reference to his interest in astronomy, Dom Pedro was highly praised by the academic world, by literati and scientists, for his love and dedication to art and science. The Brazilian Historic and Geographic Institute (IHGB), for example, received the Emperor's support since its foundation in 1838, and he participated in hundreds of meetings and personally financed several research projects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExiled in France during the last two years of his life after the Proclamation of the Republic, the deposed Emperor dedicated himself almost exclusively to his readings, research, and scientific friendships.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the 1880s, Brazil continued to prosper and develop, including socially with, for example, the first women's rights movement. However, the letters Pedro II wrote at this time usually show a tired and somewhat pessimistic man. Even taking his responsibilities as Head of State seriously, he led without great enthusiasm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWritten precisely in 1880, this letter - in perfect French - shows all Dom Pedro's curiosity and knowledge in science. The Emperor comments and opines, with great humility, on some current research (astronomy, agriculture, botany, geology), on some great names of the time (Brongniart, Van Thiegem, Périer, etc.) and on science in general (chemistry, geometry). Finally, particularly interesting, this sentence:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe life I lead here is truly tranquil.

Most of the gang members were arrested, and Biggs was sentenced to 30 years in prison and only a portion of the money was found.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter 15 months of detention, he managed to escape from prison using a rope ladder. He fled to Paris, where he underwent plastic surgery to change his face and acquire a new identity. Later, in 1970, he moved to Australia, but was recognized by a journalist and left Australia for Brazil, leaving behind his wife and two children.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlmost penniless in Rio de Janeiro, without a work visa and obliged to report to the police twice a week, Ronnie Biggs began selling his story for interviews and to tourists. Taking advantage of Brazilian laws, which prohibited the extradition to England of a foreigner who was the father of a Brazilian child, for 40 years Biggs shamelessly led a public life in Brazil. In addition, he made several visits to England, under a false identity, for the filming of a documentary about the Great Train Robbery. Ronnie Biggs lived in Santa Teresa, a bohemian neighborhood in Rio de Janeiro, in a house with a pool and city views, where he organized numerous parties.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBiggs's personality was very controversial: some admired his audacity for the robbery, the prison escape, and the 36 years on the run, defying authorities and living freely in Brazil. Others detested his attitude of a bandit mocking the law and remembered that Jack Mills, the train driver, who had been beaten with an iron bar, never fully recovered and died of leukemia seven years later.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDespite being a letter written by a fugitive hidden in Brazil, Biggs's story and the particularly relevant content of this letter - in the form of a confession - make it a unique collector's item and, perhaps, an educational act? Indeed, Ronnie Biggs explains why he participated in the robbery - \u003cem\u003e\"to get my hands on a lot of money and solve my financial problems\"\u003c\/em\u003e - but he also clearly shows regret by telling G.

However, the main difference from fascism was that the Peronist regime maintained a multi-party system and respect for the Constitution, including the separation of executive, legislative, and judicial powers. Despite his authoritarian and very repressive stance, Juan Perón was permanently acclaimed between 1945 and 1955 through various elections that confirmed the popularity of his \"Third Way\" policy, which aimed to be an alternative between capitalism and communism.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c!--nl----\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnother reason for his popularity was Juan Perón's second wife, Eva or Evita for others, who greatly contributed to the social image of Peronism among the poorer classes of the population through her work with the sick, the elderly, and orphans. Although her precise role in the politics of Perón's first term remains controversial, Eva Perón certainly introduced issues of justice and social equality into the national discourse.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1961, after Evita's death, Juan Perón married cabaret singer María Estela Martínez, who became his third wife and successor in office. Argentina in the 1950s and 1960s was marked by frequent changes in government (eight heads of state from 1955-1973), low economic growth, continuous social pressure, and two military dictatorships (\"Liberating Revolution\" in 1955-58 and \"Argentine Revolution\" from 1966-1973). In exile, Juan Perón continued to observe and analyze the situation in Argentina and communicate with Argentine and foreign allies and sympathizers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is in this context that Juan Perón wrote this letter to Don Lawrence A. Flockhart, an 18-year-old English fascist and Peronist. In it, Perón comments on the article \"The Treasure that Perón can't touch\" by Randolph Churchill, published in the newspaper \"News of the World\" and sent by Flockhart. He vigorously criticizes the author, calling him a \"scoundrel,\" and describes the newspaper as being of \"little value and importance.\" To explain his reasoning, he attaches a manuscript where the economic situation of Argentina was analyzed with \"data and statistics.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHere we appreciate Perón's style and emotion in this important year of 1961, when, certainly frustrated by his exile, he explains his historical vision in a very relevant way in the second document.

Even so, few remember that, with the proclamation of the republic in 1889, Isabel, like the entire royal family, was exiled and forbidden to set foot on Brazilian soil. Expatriation was a complex period in the princess's life, as in addition to losing the right to live in the country where she grew up, she was also deprived of much of her assets. Still, recently discovered documents show that Princess Isabel maintained an active social life during her exile in France.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe letter dated 1907, written by the princess herself, reveals that she was organizing a concert in Boulogne sur Mer. This is a precious perspective into the daily life of the famous monarch, especially given how little is known about that period, as after her expulsion from Brazil, Isabel decided to live a discreet life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUpon returning to Europe, the imperial family first disembarked in Portugal, where Isabel's mother, Teresa Cristina, died within a few weeks. Isabel even settled for a period in southern Spain, but soon the entire royal family moved to a hotel in Cannes, France, after receiving a large loan from a Portuguese banker that allowed them to enjoy such luxury. However, Isabel and Gaston, her husband, moved the following year to a private villa, more economical than staying at the hotel. They then went to a country house near Versailles before their definitive move to the Château d’Eu, in Normandy, the former home of Gaston's grandfather, King Louis Philippe I of France.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDuring her exile in France, Isabel chose a moderate life, away from the spotlight, to the extent that she never publicly supported attempts to restore the monarchy that occurred in Brazil. Due to this reserved lifestyle, little is known about the princess's daily life during those years. For this reason, her letter organizing a concert is so important; it gives us the possibility to explore the mysteries of Princess Isabel's daily life. What would it feel like to receive an invitation to a concert from the princess?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBrazilian history is full of remarkable figures, and Princess Isabel is surely one of the greatest protagonists of the more than 500 years recorded since the arrival of the Portuguese.

By recording rituals, marriages, ceremonies, musical concerts, sporting events, solemnities, popular festivals, parades, opening and closing of school and church festivals, masses, tributes, inaugurations, clubs, cinemas, receptions, conferences, carnivals, processions, public libraries, and schools, Donald Pierson was able to gain a general understanding of these thematic situations.
