Through a deep dive into the author's personal archive of letters from the later period of his life, this book provides a unique insight into how the motivations for his retreat from public life were rooted both in his temperament and the pressures of his day-to-day life. Building from a detailed analysis of his character and beliefs, the author argues that Herculano's retreat to Vale de Lobos was a complex choice derived from his innate disposition as a farmer and a product of specific personal circumstances, such as his marriage and his disillusionment with public life, rather than a singular cause such as ill-health or a desire to escape the political turmoil of the time.
