The book explores the life, contributions, and legacy of Alexandre Herculano, one of Portugal's most renowned writers and historians, highlighting his literary significance and moral character. The content of the book primarily revolves around an analysis of Herculano's work and influence on Portuguese literature and culture. Diogo Rosa Machado delves into Herculano's poetic sensibility, his profound commitment to the study of history, and his passionate engagement with social and political issues of his time.
