Joaquim Pedro de Oliveira Martins (30 April 1845 – 24 August 1894) was a Portuguese politician and social scientist.〔(Biography at Instituto Camões )〕 He was a writer, a deputy, a minister; he became the 47th Minister for Treasury Affairs on 17 January 1892. Martins was born and died in Lisbon. He was the son of Francisco Cândido Gonçalves Martins (born Lisbon, Mercês, bap. 16 June 1812) and wife Maria Henriqueta de Morais Gomes de Oliveira (born Setúbal, São Lourenço (Vila Nogueira de Azeitão), bap. 26 August 1817). Oliveira Martins is considered one of the key figures in the contemporary history of Portugal. His works influenced many generations of writers, such as António Sérgio (1883–1969), António Sardinha (1887–1925) or the philosopher Eduardo Lourenço (1923– ). He married on 10 March 1865 Vitória Mascarenhas Barbosa, without issue. His great-nephew is former Minister of Finance Guilherme de Oliveira Martins. == Life == An orphan, Oliveira Martins did not have an easy adolescence; he did not finish high school, which would lead him to Polytechnic School to be a military engineer. He was a businessman between 1858 and 1870, but because his firm went bankrupt, he later became manager of a mine in Andalusia. In 1874 Martins returned to Portugal to coordinate the construction of the railway between Porto, Póvoa do Varzim and Vila Nova de Famalicão. In 1880 he was elected president of the Sociedade de Geografia Comercial of Porto and, four years later, manager of the Museum of Industry of Commerce in the same city. Later, he was also manager of the Company of Mozambique and member of the executive commission of the Portuguese Industrial Exhibition. Oliveira Martins became a deputy elected by Viana do Castelo in 1883, and in 1889 by Porto. In 1893 he was nominated vice-president of the Junta de Crédito Público. One of the leading figures of the "70s generation" (formed by writers like Antero de Quental, Eça de Queirós, Ramalho Ortigão and Guerra Junqueiro), Martins was influenced by many schools of thought of the nineteenth century. 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「Joaquim Pedro de Oliveira Martins」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
