Abstract

References to the impact of Abílio César Borges in the Brazilian education go back to the decade of 1860. Author of several school books, he was very popular in  his homeland Bahia, and then in Rio de Janeiro. Celebrated by the poets Castro Alves and Rozendo Moniz Barreto in his early years, he was criticized by Raul Pompeia in the novel O Ateneu. Pompeia’s criticism aimed not only Abílio César Borges, but mainly the Brazilian education system.
