Recognized as a turning point in Brazilian literature, this entertaining novel of urban manners follows the ne'er-do-well Leonardo through his various romantic liaisons and frequent scrapes with the taw. First printed in weekly installments in 1852, and later published in two volumes in 1854 -55, Memoirs of a Militia Sergeant comprises a series of humorous vignettes held together by the adventures and misfortunes of this young rogue -- who matures from a handful of a toddler into a ruffian of a boy and an idler of a young man -- and his father, also named Leonardo.
