"Alexandre Herculano" by Manoel Caldas Cordeiro is a biography written in the late 19th century. The book explores the life and contributions of Alexandre Herculano, an important figure in Portuguese literature and history, detailing both his literary works and his political involvement. It sheds light on Herculano's quest for historical accuracy and his commitment to reviving national pride through literature. The biography offers a comprehensive examination of Herculano's life from his upbringing in Lisbon, his involvement in revolutionary politics, to his prominent role as a historian and novelist. Through various phases of his career, the text highlights his struggles against mediocrity in the literary scene of his time and the development of his historical narratives imbued with a sense of nostalgia for Portugal's glorious past. It discusses his major works, including historical writings like "História de Portugal" and novels such as "O Monge de Cistér," emphasizing how his artistic endeavors were deeply intertwined with his political views and a disillusionment with contemporary society. Herculano's strong personality and his relentless pursuit of integrity, both in art and life, emerge as central themes in this biographical account. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
