Books recommended by Luís Roberto Barroso

Luís Roberto Barroso has been a justice of the Supreme Federal Court since 2013 and presided over the court between 2023 and 2025. A full professor of constitutional law at UERJ, he has built a dual career spanning academia and the judiciary. Barroso publicly maintains the habit of recommending one book a week — a recommendation frequently echoed by the press. His bookshelf ranges from Machado de Assis and Eça de Queirós to the political history of A Ditadura Escancarada and Rumo à Estação Finlândia, and to law in dialogue with literature, as in Medida por Medida, by Castro Neves.
