The novel O amanuense Belmiro translated here belongs to the nostalgic (saudosista) and to the erudite traditions in Luso-Brazilian letters. During a period of intense political and social turmoil (1935-36), the protagonist and his associates grapple with perennial issues such as space and time, reason versus emotion, faith in God, communication and understanding, poetry and science, love and friendship.
