About This Book
O texto reúne a reedição de um discurso proferido num sarau comemorativo em homenagem a um tribuno, apresentada como tributo e memória. O orador recorda a audácia juvenil que o levou a falar publicamente em tempo de tensão política e a ser chamado às autoridades, mas também a sua inocentação; mistura reminiscências pessoais com retratos do ambiente intelectual da sua geração — o entusiasmo literário, as revistas, as sociedades científicas e a participação cívica — e sublinha a sinceridade emocional e a coragem cívica que justificam a nova edição.
