1969205 pages. Originally published by Imray, Laurie, Norie & Wilson, Ltd., London. Multi-panel fold-out map. 9 Black and white illustrations. "A century ago, when every known route was beset with its own dangers, the risks in the "Country Trade" were especially numerous, and it is difficult now to even believe, much more to realise, the vicissitudes to which a ship was liable in the 17th and 18th centuries from the time she left her anchorage under the friendly protection of the guns of old Bombay Castle... Pirates, cosmopolitan, Indian, Arab, even English, cruised the Arabian seas. The Straits of Malacca teemed with fierce cut-throats; the Gulf was a standing menace. These dangers were real." - From Preface. Contents clean, bright and unmarked, possibly unread. Tight and square. Light wear to white and blue cloth-covered boards. Bright silver lettering upon spine. Book

réf. 2509RS642Ou DEFENSA IMPARCIAL Do Grande LUIZ DE CAMÕES Contra as Invectivas e Embustes do Discurso Preliminar do Oriente Composto pelo Padre José Agostinho De Macedo em que se prova as suas falsas originalidades: obra escripta em vida deste Reverendo Author e até agora não impressa. Seu author Raymundo Manoel da Silva Estrada. LISBOA Na Imprensa Nevesiana. 1834. Com liçença. In 4.º de 20x13 cm. Com 56 págs. Encadernação com lombada em tela encerada com ferros a seco. Pastas em papel marmoreado. Exemplar com sinais de manuseamento algumas manchas de humidade. Muito raro já na época de Inocêncio. Gralha na numeração das páginas com 10 em vez de 35. Obra incluída na violenta polémica que opôs José Agostinho de Macedo a muitos escritores do início do século XIX por ocasião dos ataques a Camões publicados juntamente com a sua edição do poema O Oriente. Importante para o estudo da recepção da obra de Camões na transição do século XVIII para o século XIX. A confrontação entre Os Lusíadas 1572 de Luís de Camões e O Oriente 1814 do Padre José Agostinho de Macedo reflete um dos maiores duelos literários da história de Portugal. Enquanto Camões fundou a língua moderna através de uma epopeia mitológica onde a mitologia greco-latina é sagrada e funcional e deuses como Vénus e Baco interagem diretamente com os navegadores elevando os feitos humanos a uma escala divina Macedo procurou 'emendar' a obra de Camões sob um prisma neoclássico e racionalista realizando um 'processo higienizador'. Como padre e seguidor das luzes Macedo via os deuses pagãos como um erro estético e espiritual. Em O Oriente a mitologia é reduzida a meras alegorias ou figuras de erudição sem qualquer poder real sobre a ação histórica. Raimundo Manuel da Silva Estrada foi um autor português do século XIX lembrado principalmente pelo seu papel na defesa da honra literária de Luís de Camões face aos ataques de José Agostinho de Macedo sendo esta a sua obra mais relevante. Embora não tenha sido um autor de vasta produção original é também autor de uma obra satírica publicada no contexto da Guerra Civil de 1828-1834: Epicédio à morte de Telles Jordão. Lisboa. Na imp. Nevesiana 1834. Referências: Inocêncio II 55-56 e XVIII 160 M-4-D-64 hardcover
