O Triste Fim De Policarpo Quaresma by Lima Barreto
A satirical and poignant portrait of an idealistic, obsessively patriotic civil servant whose devotion to his country—expressed in lofty experiments with language, agriculture and civic reform—brings him into escalating conflict with indifferent institutions, petty officials and social hypocrisy, leading from naive enthusiasm through public humiliation and radical disillusionment to a tragic downfall that exposes the failures of early republican Brazil.
