Brazilian revolutionary. Born in Rio Grande do Sul, he graduated from the military academy. In the 1920s, he joined the junior officers' reform movement (Tenentismo) and led the liberation army in marches across the country, earning him the nickname "Knight of Hope." He later visited the Soviet Union, and in 1935 was elected to the Executive Committee of Comintern. He returned to Brazil and led a revolt by the National Liberation League against fascism and the Vargas regime, for which he was arrested. In 1945, he rebuilt the Communist Party and was elected to the Senate, but two years later the party was outlawed and he was forced to go underground. After the military coup of 1964, he went into exile in France for a time, but continued to demonstrate hidden leadership, such as by trying to infiltrate Communist forces into the quasi-opposition Brazilian Democratic Movement (MDB).

ブラジルの革命家。リオ・グランデ・ド・スール州に生まれ、陸軍士官学校を卒業。1920年代に下級将校の改革運動(テネンティズモ)に加わり、解放軍を率いて全国を行進し、「希望の騎士」と称された。のち当時のソ連を訪れ、1935年にコミンテルンの執行委員会委員に選ばれたのち帰国し、ファシズムとバルガス体制に反対する民族解放同盟の反乱を指揮して捕らえられた。1945年に共産党を再建して上院議員に選出されるが、2年後に党は非合法化され、地下活動を余儀なくされる。1964年の軍事クーデター後一時フランスに亡命したが、準野党ブラジル民主運動(MDB)への共産党勢力の浸透を図るなど、隠然たる指導力を発揮した。 [乗 浩子] 『ジョルジェ・アマード著、神代修訳『希望の騎士・革命児プレステス』(1967・弘文堂新社)』 [参照項目] |出典 小学館 日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)について 情報 | 凡例 |
