Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability. This book continues to be as important today as when it was first written. Democracy in America was received at once by the scholars and thinkers of Europe as a profound, impartial, and entertaining exposition of the principles of popular, representative self-government. When Alexis de Tocqueville came to study Democracy in America, the trial of nearly a half-century of the working of our system had been made, and it had been proved, by many crucial tests, to be a government of liberty regulated by law, with such results in the development of strength, in population, wealth, and military and commercial power, as no age had ever witnessed. ![]() ![]() ![]() He soon received his first scholarship grant offered by his own city hall and spent three months at Escola Nacional de Belas Artes in Rio de Janeiro (ENBA), which agglutinated the old, but also, new talents.

The exhibition Acontece que somos canibais which brings together works by the artist Glauco Rodrigues’ pop phase arrives in due time. ![]() |
