Rui
Barbosa
Rui
Barbosa foi, sem dúvida, um dos mais importantes personagens da História do
Brasil. Rui era dotado não apenas de inteligência privilegiada, mas também de
grande capacidade de trabalho. Essas duas características permitiram-lhe
deixar marcas profundas em várias áreas de atividade profissional nos campos
do direito - seja como advogado, seja como jurista - do jornalismo, da
diplomacia e da política.
Foi
deputado, senador, ministro e candidato á Presidência da República em duas
ocasiões, tendo realizado campanhas memoráveis. Seu comportamento sempre
revelou sólidos princípios éticos e grande independência política.
Participou
de todas as grandes questões de sua época, entre as quais a Campanha
Abolicionista, a defesa da Federação, a própria fundação da República e
a Campanha Civilista.
Mesmo
admirando a cultura francesa, como todos os intelectuais de sua época, Rui
conhecia também a fundo o pensamento político constitucional anglo-americano,
que, por seu intermédio, tanto influenciou a nossa primeira Constituição
republicana. Era um liberal, e foi sempre um defensor incansável de todas as
liberdades.
Orador
imbatível e estudioso da língua portuguesa, foi nomeado presidente da
Academia Brasileira de Letras em substituição ao grande Machado de Assis.
Sua
produção intelectual é vastissirna. Basta dizer que a Fundação já
publicou mais de 140 tornos de suas obras completas e ainda tern material
para novas edições.
Rui
representou o Brasil corn brilhantismo na Segunda Conferência Internacional
da Paz, em Haia e, já
no final de sua vida, foi nomeado Juiz da Corte Internacional de Haia,
urn cargo de enorme prestígio.
Em
suma, Rui foi um cidadão exemplar e, ainda hoje, sua memória éfonte de
inspiração para um grande número de brasileiros.

Rui
Barbosa was undoubtedly one of the most important personalities of the
Brazils history. Rui was gifted not only with a privileged intelligence but
also with a prodigious capacity of work. These two characteristics allowed him
to make a mark in different areas of professional activity, such as in Law - as
a lawyer and a jurist - journalism, diplomacy and politics.
He
was elected congressman, senator, minister, and then candidate to the Presidency
of Republic in two occasions when he carried out memorable campaigns. His
behavior has always revealed solid ethical principles and ample political
independence.
He
participated in all major questions of his time among which the abolitionist
campaign, the defense of the Federation, the foundation of the Republic and
the civil party campaign.
Although
admiring the French culture as did all the intellectuals of his time, Rui had
deep knowledge of the Anglo-American political thinking which through him has
much influenced our first Republican Constitution. He was a liberal and always
an indefatigable defender of all freedoms.
Unbeatable
orator and scholar of the Portuguese language, he was nominated president of
the Brazilian Academy of Letters, replacing the great Machado de Assis.
His
intellectual production is extremely vast. Enough to say that the Foundation
has published more than 140 volumes of his complete works and there is still
material for new editions.
Rui
Barbosa has brilliantly represented Brazil in the Second International
Conference of Peace in Hague, and, in the end of his life, he was nominated
Judge of the International Court of Hague, an extremely prestigious position.
In
short, Rui was an exemplary citizen and even today his memory is source of
inspiration for a great number of Brazilians.
