D. Manuel I: Is being king by chance the same as having the good fortune to be king?

Is history fiction?

Beschreibung

This book discusses a fictional work by Portuguese playwright Manuel Córrego, an author who was engaged and conscious of his time. The play that inspired this work tells of the era of D. Manuel I, when Portugal was an overseas empire and the center of the world. Córrego is the voice of this country that today sings melancholic fados and tiles its facades, whose people rest their gaze on a horizon located at the stern of their ship. After all, where do the paths of history and fiction cross? Are they parallel lines, like a pair of slightly crossed eyes whose gazes tend to meet in infinity?
