Memoirs of a Militia Sergeant Reviews

An exquisite and timely English edition of one of Brazil's most important Romantic novels.--Leo Bernucci, University of Colorado ...This 19th-century Brazilian classic that, with its uniquely satirical stance and reliance on caricature, counteracts the fiction of his time....Readable and accessible, this is the first English translation in 30 years, and it continues the fine standards of the reputable Oxford series. Recommended for public and academic libraries.--Library Journal A rediscovered gem: both a historically important work and a terrific entertainment.--Kirkus
