This piece reflects on the vices and moral decay observed in Portuguese society, particularly focusing on the behaviors and customs of both genders. As a literary work, it combines elements of poetry and prose to diagnose what the author perceives as the chronic ailments afflicting the national character. The book presents a detailed exploration of various societal issues, addressing topics such as excesses in luxury, the deterioration of traditional values, and the impact of poor education. Costa employs vivid imagery and metaphor to depict Portugal as a nation grappling with corruption and moral decline, likening it to a sick individual in dire need of a cure. Through a blend of lamentation and critique, the author urges his contemporaries to recognize and rectify these social ills, advocating for a return to virtuous living and a reevaluation of personal, familial, and national responsibilities.
