Editor's Note:
Em 1807, no auge das guerras napoleónicas, o príncipe regente português D. João tomou uma decisão extraordinária. Apesar de horrorizado com a ideia de uma viagem marítima, optou por transferir toda a Corte e o Governo para a maior colónia de Portugal, o Brasil.Com as tropas francesas a apertar o cerco a Lisboa, um total de 10 mil aristocratas, ministros, sacerdotes e criados, sobe a bordo das frágeis embarcações da frota portuguesa. Após uma difícil viagem transatlântica sob escolta britânica, desembarcaram imundos, cheios de piolhos e esfarrapados, para grande surpresa dos súbditos do Novo Mundo.A transferência da Corte e do governo português para o Brasil deu início a um período único de governo imperial a partir dos trópicos, que durou treze anos. O Rio de Janeiro não tardou a ser beneficiado com uma nova Ópera, um luxuriante Jardim Botânico e um Paço Real - uma Versailles Tropical - tendo como esplêndido pano de fundo montanhas revestidas de vegetação luxuriante. Mas esta fachada metropolitana só parcialmente obscurecia a actividade brutal daquele que era o maior porto de escravos das Américas. Enquanto Patrick Wilcken dá vida a este período extraordinário, combinando ricos testemunhos contemporâneos com uma evocação plena de ideias do único momento na História em que a realeza europeia viveu numa colónia.

"Took a moment to build, but the payoff was spectacular. The middle had a deliberate pace, but the climax was phenomenal. A wonderful companion for a quiet weekend."

"Excellent, though slightly flawed. The protagonist was compelling, though some subplots felt slightly overshadowed. A solid 4 stars from me."
