The Empire Is You— Javier Moro

PRELOVED

Crowned Emperor of Brazil at twenty-three, Pedro I left his mark on the history of two continents. Immoderate and contradictory, women were his salvation and his downfall: while his wife, the virtuous Leopoldina of Austria, led him to his peak, his lover, the ardent Domitila de Castro, dragged him to decadence.

When the immense Brazil became too small for him and power ceased to interest him, he risked his life for what he believed was right. And he achieved glory.

With the exuberant beauty of the tropics as a backdrop, Javier Moro narrates with passion for detail the prodigious epic of the birth of South America's largest country.
