It follows commercial entanglements with financiers and a colonial development company, examines speculation and fiscal controversy, and records the last days and death. Interspersed are moral and religious reflections, editorial digressions, and contemporary press responses, producing a documentary portrait that mixes anecdote, commentary, and documentary material.
