Viva! is the story of four generations of a Portuguese family set against the backdrop of political and social turmoil. In 1890 Edmundo Caçador migrates to Brazil in search of a better world. Years later, his descendants will settle in the Azores, Angola, Lisbon, and Canada. The family endures through love, loss, family upheaval, political repression, religious contention, revolution, and dreams and finds itself at the end of the tumults of the 20th century facing the dawn of the 21st.

Extending the chronological and cultural scope of Fortier's book on equity, which focuses on early modern England, this interdisciplinary study draws on politics, religion, law, literature, and philosophy to argue that equity continued to be a key word throughout the Restoration and 18th century in Britain and America.

Addresses the concept of equity, from early in the sixteenth century until 1660. Touching on matters of legal and intellectual history, legal and cultural theory, moral and political philosophy, and theology, this literary study argues that equity was a powerful concept.
