The Academia Pernambucana de Letras (Pernambuco Academy of Letters) is a Brazilian literary society established in the manner of the Académie des Inscriptions et Belles-Lettres, on January 26, 1901 in Recife by Carneiro Vilela and other pernambucan writers of time, with a total of 20 seats. One of the first letters academies of Brazil, being surpassed only by Academia Cearense de Letras, by Academia Brasileira de Letras and Academia Paraense de Letras. == History == At the end of 19th century, some intellectuals in Recife were considering the creation of a new literary academy, which had the name ''Academia Pernambucana de Letras.'' José Isidoro Martins Júnior, Artur da Silva Orlando, Eduardo de Carvalho and Thiago Joaquim da Fonseca addressed an invitation to Carneiro Vilela to join the new institution, which he refused, as he explained in a note in the newspaper ''Province''. The same Carneiro Vilela, however, was part of a group of intellectuals who founded the Academy in 1901. On December 28, 1900, a note about the imminent installation of an academia appeared in the Jornal do Recife and Diario de Pernambuco. On 14 January 1901, there was a preparatory session for the installation of the Academy, with the approval of the Organic Law and choice of patrons of the twenty seats that would compose. A formal ceremony took place on January 26, with a speech by Carlos Porto Carreiro. The Academy had been dissolved in 1910, to be reorganized in 1920. In 1921, the number of seats was increased to 30. In 1960 was increased to 40, which is the current number. The Academy is headed by Waldenio Porto, whose term ends on February 26, 2012, when the academic Fatima Quintas will assume the post, for which she was nominated by acclamation of academic writers. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Academia Pernambucana de Letras」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
