"Ho tentato di rimettere insieme la storia della famiglia Manzoni; volevo ricostruirla, ricomporla, allinearla ordinatamente nel tempo. Avevo delle lettere e dei libri. Non volevo esprimere commenti, ma limitarmi a una nuda e semplice successione di fatti. Volevo che i fatti parlassero da sé.

As biografias desses dois cronistas, escritas pelo mestre Alexandre Herculano, mais do que tecer críticas sinceras, oferecem ao leitor um vislumbre desse movimento literário tão caro à literatura portuguesa – as crônicas medievais. De Rui de Pina, destaca ter escrito o maior número de crônicas de que se tem notícia. De Garcia de Resende, um retrato pouco lisonjeiro: "velho cortesão, escreveu a vida de D.

But as he matured, he set his guitar aside and turned to prose, a practice that would eventually take him to the Iowa Writers’ Workshop and into the professional world of letters.
