BANDEIRA (Sá da)
DIÁRIO da Guerra Civil (1826-1832) / recolha, prefácio e notas de José Tengarrinha. Lisboa: Seara Nova, 1975-1976.
2 v.; 210 mm.
First edition of Sá da Bandeira's manuscripts found in the Military Historical Archive. “In nineteenth-century literature of the memorial type, this document occupies a unique position. Firstly, because, as the author did not intend for public disclosure, it is written unconcernedly, […] just as a personal record of important facts […]. It also highlights the accuracy and detail of the descriptions, which were often recorded on the spot and immediately after the events […]. It should also be noted the wide variety of subjects that the narration touches on […]” (from the Preface).
