Triste Fim de Policarpo Quaresma (published in English as The Patriot and The Sad End of Policarpo Quaresma) is a novel by Brazilian writer Lima Barreto. The work was published under feuilleton form in 1911, from August to October in the Jornal do Commercio. The focus of the work is the nationalism in the early years of the First Brazilian Republic and criticism to the middle-class and the bureaucratic government. The work is comical in the beginning, transiting to harsh criticisms by the end. These critics demystify the figure of the president Floriano Peixoto (1891–1894), known as the Marechal de Ferro ("The Iron Marshal"), and also of the Brazilian military.

  • Triste Fim de Policarpo Quaresma (published in English as The Patriot and The Sad End of Policarpo Quaresma) is a novel by Brazilian writer Lima Barreto. The work was published under feuilleton form in 1911, from August to October in the Jornal do Commercio. The focus of the work is the nationalism in the early years of the First Brazilian Republic and criticism to the middle-class and the bureaucratic government. The work is comical in the beginning, transiting to harsh criticisms by the end. These critics demystify the figure of the president Floriano Peixoto (1891–1894), known as the Marechal de Ferro ("The Iron Marshal"), and also of the Brazilian military. The book is centered on Policarpo Quaresma, an ultra-nationalist bureaucrat of the Army. Quaresma is an enthusiast of Brazilian popular and indigenous culture, and has an innocent love for his country. Throughout the story, his heightened patriotism leads him always to disastrous situations: in the first part, he ends in an asylum; in the second, his agricultural enterprise fails due to the Brazilian pests and soil; and in the third and final part, he is arrested and executed under the orders of Floriano Peixoto, whom he admired.

  • Triste Fim de Policarpo Quaresma é um romance do pré-modernismo brasileiro e considerado por alguns o principal representante desse movimento. Escrito por Lima Barreto, foi levado a público pela primeira vez em folhetins, publicados, entre agosto e outubro de 1911, na edição da tarde do Jornal do Commercio do Rio de Janeiro. Em 1915, também no Rio de Janeiro, a obra foi pela primeira vez impressa em livro, em edição de autor. O major Policarpo é um anti-herói quixotesco, imbuído de nobres ideais, alguns beirando ao tresloucado (tanto é que passa uma temporada no hospício). Bom coração, idealista, patriota, por causa de suas qualidades acaba sendo castigado e sempre se dá mal. Uma obra clássica da literatura brasileira que ajuda a explicar por que somos como somos. "Um dos grandes herdeiros do Naturalismo, o romance de Lima Barreto disseca o sonho de um patriota exaltado ao mesmo tempo em que apresenta uma sátira impiedosa e bem-humorada do Brasil oficial."
