«D. Pedro V» is the historical biography by Ruben Andresen Leitão, published by Texto in paperback (128 pages, in Portuguese).
Pedro V (1837-1861), thirty-second king of Portugal, reigned for only six years, but in that time the country's modernisation began, with the telegraph and the railway as landmarks of the Regeneration. The author, who devoted sixteen works to the monarch, considered him the first modern man of Portugal; this book portrays the so-called Hopeful King.
Subtitled «Um Homem e um Rei», it belongs to the História collection from Texto. The work was originally published in 1950.
Suitable for readers of Portuguese history interested in the monarchy and the nineteenth-century modernisation process.
