 ## About this work

Que homens fizeram possível a época em que o infante D. Henrique se tornou símbolo dos descobrimentos portugueses? Nesta carta dirigida a Mathieu Lugan, Alberto Pimentel escolhe um caminho singular: em vez de repetir a biografia do Infante, detém-se num dos vultos que o rodearam, Álvaro Vaz de Almada, conde de Avranches. A figura, pouco conhecida fora de Portugal e envolta em relatos contraditórios, permite ao autor iluminar uma geração de homens de excepcional prestígio e a época brilhante que culminou na ação do Navegador. Entre a guerra e a paz, a ciência e o comércio, a humanidade e a civilização, este estudo recupera um passado português de grandeza, sem apagar as suas sombras. Publicado originalmente no Porto, em 1894, por ocasião das comemorações do quinto centenário do nascimento do infante D. Henrique, o texto combina memória histórica, reflexão e homenagem. Esta edição Publica.now Classics inclui uma nova capa tipográfica e páginas editoriais de abertura e encerramento.
