Summary
Numa Pompílio de Castro, a modest official, rises to be a deputy through a clever marriage to Edgarda, the daughter of a powerful politician, while the Chamber debates a proposal for a new state of the federation. Lima Barreto's satire of 1915 shows the republic's political machinery at work.
