| America's Black President, by Monteiro Lobato, 1926 | As I write, Obama has just taken the state of Mississippi in the Democratic Party primaries, against his white, female opponent. Monteiro Lobato wrote of this possibility in 1926, and the reprint of O Presidente Negro is selling like wildfire all over Brazil. I have undertaken to translate the text into 1926 English, and can provide side-by-side samples to publishers or venture capitalists interested in backing its publication.

| Translation for sale P-E Historical interest: Antonio Torres 50k cover image |
As Razoens da Inconfydência Mineira, by Antonio Torres, 1924. Motives for Mutiny in Minas. This 102 pp. English version contains nearly 23,000 words and follows the original format exactly. Presented as an apologia for Tiradentes' anti-imperial independence movement of 1792, the book is a polemical attack--a Brazilian Mein Kampf--on all things Portuguese. Heavily footnoted with excerpts going back 2 centuries in 3 languages, Torres' acid vituperation offers a glimpse of ideology underlying another Coolidge-era nationalist movement just prior to the revolution that brought the Getúlio Vargas régime to power. Includes a potpourri of historical financial documents. Serious publisher inquiries only, please. Ask for excerpts in both languages. | |
