Anthenor Navarro: um homem além do seu tempo

Abstract

After the publication of the pamphlet - Paraíba - Names of the Century, Anthenor Navarro, I felt it was appropriate to deepen my research into the life and work of this public figure, who marked a significant chapter in the history of Paraíba, as the first federal interventor, as a result of the 1930 Revolution. When portraying a biographical profile, we must take into account that no one can escape their origins, since a memoir takes us to successive places, to the environment in which we were born, to our family education and culture, to the schools we attended, in short, to the responsibilities that our existence has destined us for. Memory brings into consciousness the tenuous thread that connects the past to the present, enabling the individual not to lose the meaning of things or the meaning of himself, that is, not to lose his personality. In this way, it becomes a primordial factor in human conduct.
