Silvio Romero foi um importante escritor brasileiro da Geração 1870 que pensou o Brasil a partir dos preceitos científicos da Europa e do Liberalismo dos EUA. Influenciado pelos parâmetros do meio e da raça, fatores somados à idéia de evolução e à lei dos três estados (Positivismo), o polígrafo constatou o atraso do país devido à inferioridade das raças formadoras da sociedade brasileira. Nos mais variados segmentos, o atraso brasileiro era visível. Para superar esse atraso, Sílvio pensava que a mestiçagem racial (também biológica) era a singularidade do novo Brasil almejado pela elite econômica e intelectual da época. Pensando um novo Brasil, o ensaísta analisou a contribuição de índios, negros e portugueses para a formação do país, salientando a extrema importância do mestiço, a singularidade brasileira. Bacharel pela Faculdade de Direito do Recife, Romero pensou o Brasil tendo em vista os princípios da Biologia e foi muito influenciado pela idéia de evolução, pela Escola de Le Play e acima de tudo, pelos pensadores que usavam o argumento da raça. A nação brasileira seria pensada tendo por modelo um organismo vivo e a questão racial e cultural seria uma das variantes para compreender o novo Brasil republicano e liberal que estava surgindo. / Sílvio Romero was an important brazilian writer of the 1870 Generation.

Estudo sobre a presença de jardineiros e paisagistas franceses na América do Sul, entre 1820 e 1920, e as relações entre a cultura paisagística francesa e a nascente arte dos jardins no Brasil. A primeira parte estabelece um quadro referencial da atividade desses franceses na Argentina, Uruguai, Chile e Brasil, destacando as realizações de Édouard André, Eugène Courtois, Charles Thays, Joseph Bouvard, Pedro Margat, Charles e Louis-Ernest Racine, Édouard Gauthier, Georges Dubois, Grandjean de Montigny, Pierre Pézérat, Charles Pinel, Jean Binot, Auguste Glaziou, Júlio Joly, Ambrósio Perret, Paul Villon, Jules Vacherot e Cochet, entre outros. A segunda parte verifica as repercussões da presença e cultura francesas no deslanchar das primeiras gerações de paisagistas e horticultores brasileiros, concentrando-se na análise do trabalho de Frederico Guilherme de Albuquerque, entre 1874 e 1892. Esse segmento discute tanto o papel desse horticultor gaúcho como editor da Revista de horticultura, primeiro mensário brasileiro voltado às plantas ornamentais e jardins, quanto destaca sua atuação pioneira na introdução e difusão de plantas ornamentais. / A study on the presence of french gardeners and landscape designers in South America, from 1820 to 1920, and the relationship between french landscape culture and the nascent art of gardens in Brazil.
