Synopsis
A rare and vivid portrait of Portugal at the edge of revolution, translated into English for modern readers.
In Memoirs, Volume I, Portuguese master Raul Brandão records the political, literary, and social world of late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century Portugal with extraordinary intensity. More than a conventional memoir, this book is a gallery of unforgettable figures: writers, monarchists, republicans, aristocrats, journalists, soldiers, artists, conspirators, and men of letters caught in the last years of the Portuguese monarchy and the turbulent rise of the Republic.
Brandão writes with the eye of a novelist and the conscience of a witness. His pages move from intimate portraits of Guerra Junqueiro, Fialho de Almeida, António Nobre, Gomes Leal, João Franco, D. Carlos I, and many others, to dramatic political scenes surrounding the crisis of the monarchy, the regicide of 1908, and the moral exhaustion of a society approaching collapse.
This English edition preserves the force, irony, melancholy, and documentary richness of the original Portuguese text, offering readers access to one of the most important memoiristic works in modern Portuguese literature.
Ideal for readers of European history, literary memoirs, political chronicles, Portuguese studies, and fin-de-siècle culture, Memoirs, Volume I is both a historical document and a deeply human work of remembrance.
