Á hora do crime: phantasia dramatica em 1 acto a proposito do assassinato do General Prim

Description

Francisco Luís Coutinho de Miranda presents a dramatic reconstruction of one of the most explosive political scandals in Portuguese history. In 'Á hora do crime', the assassination of General Prim is not just a historical event but a phantasia dramactica — a single-act dramatic reimagining that strips away the layers of conspiracy and reveals the raw emotions of those involved. The murder of the 'Portuguese Washington' divided the nation, and Miranda captures that fracture with precision.\n\nThis is not a dry history textbook; it is a theatrical exploration of motive, betrayal, and the tragic consequences of political violence. The single-act structure intensifies the tension, forcing the reader to confront the immediacy of the crime as it unfolds. For anyone interested in Portuguese history, political drama, or the power of dramatic literature, this work is essential reading.
