Thomaz de Mello Breyner, Relatos de Uma Época - Do Final da Monarquia ao Estado Novo

Thomaz de Mello Breyner, One - Time Reports - From the End of the Monarchy to the New State is the watchful testimony of a man who has kept a detailed record throughout almost fifty years marked by the history of Portugal.
Notable physician, Thomaz de Mello Breyner, 4th Count of Mafra, committed himself to the promotion of public health policies, especially through the fight against venereal diseases, even to the detriment of his career and economic earnings.
Through his testimony, we are led to witness worldly events in a politically troubled time period that assists, internally, the fall of the monarchy, the convulsions of the First Republic and the rise of the New State.
In the impossibility of transcribing in full the property that has left us, this biography is the possible synthesis that, as the author writes, Margarida de Magalhães Ramalho, "... seeks to rescue from oblivion one of the most relevant and respected personalities of his time."
