About This Book

Um estudo biográfico e ensaístico que analisa a figura proeminente cuja autoridade pessoal dominou a sociedade local; investiga como carisma, exemplo moral e atuações públicas atraíram devoção e subserviência, contrapondo o ideal do racionalismo à prevalência das influências humanas e das circunstâncias históricas. O autor examina correntes políticas e psicológicas da época, problematiza a relação entre personalidade e contexto social, e procura identificar, sem pretensão de exaustividade, as forças que tornaram possível e duradouro esse predomínio.
