Produced by Pedro Saborano (produced from scanned images of public domain material from Google Book Search) "O Marquez de Pombal à Luz da Philosophia" by Angelina Vidal is a philosophical and historical analysis written in the late 19th century. The book likely explores the life and influence of the Marquess of Pombal, a key figure in Portugal's history, focusing on his roles in governance and societal change. Through a critical lens, it examines the intersection of power, morality, and progress in Portuguese society during his time. In this work, Vidal presents a complex portrait of the Marquess of Pombal, highlighting both his achievements and the darker aspects of his rule. The narrative delves into the socio-political landscape of Portugal, addressing issues such as the influencia of the Jesuits, the Inquisition, and the tumult between monarchy and democracy. While Pombal is recognized for modernizing Lisbon, particularly after the 1755 earthquake, the text also reveals the consequences of his authoritarian measures and the suffering of the populace. Through poignant poetry and prose, Vidal invokes a dialogue about justice, societal progress, and the moral implications of leadership, ultimately urging readers to reflect on the costs of power in the pursuit of advancement.
