The book explores a relevant collection of documents comprising hundreds of different newspapers regarding the historic protocol visits and grand feasts that took place in the last months of 1889 when the Chilean cruiser "Admiral Cochrane" arrived at the Rio de Janeiro harbor with 300 crew on board, on a scale of good neighborliness. The frayed monarchical government received pompously the Chilean delegation, just six days before the proclamation of the republic. Along with the historic documents from the National Archives, the edition includes invitations to dances and cocktails; menus of lunches and dinners; dance books; programs of the boat races at the beach of Botafogo and the racetracks of the Derby Fluminenses, the legendary Isle Fiscal Ball, music sheets, poems and a variety of other publications. Other authors include Chef Laurent Suaudeau, poet Sebastio Uchoa (deceased), historians Carlos Ditadi and Vivien Ishaq, from the Arquivo Nacional, Victor Melo, of the UFRJ and researcher Carlos Sandroni, PhD in music and professor of the UFPE

The work of Maria Isaura Pereira de Queiroz has been influential in the understanding of social change in Brazil. Her analyses of the modifications, persistence, adaptations and resistance that have flourished in many spheres of social life provide elements for a reading of the social-anthropological singularities of current change processes that have gone on in the country since the 1950s. Based on an analysis in which the microsociological and macrosociological aspects are combined, she has not only drawn a sociological profile of some environments (rural neighbourhoods, for example), but also developed an approach that shows how Brazilian society has changed under increasing urbanization and industrialization - processes which create interactions, practices and specific contexts that are unique to Brazil and do not merely mirror the trajectory followed by other nations.
