The thirst for revenge is a feeling as natural to human beings as love, hatred, or fear. This book explores how this instinct has marked the history of Portugal over the centuries, from the beginning of the nation to the 20th century. Through more than 40 episodes, historian Ricardo Raimundo analyzes betrayals and revenges motivated by political, religious, or honor-related reasons.
The work offers a curious and fascinating portrait of Portuguese history, examining famous cases of disputes between monarchs, noble families, and political figures. It is a detailed chronicle that follows the law of "an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth," revealing the passions and conflicts that have shaped the destiny of a nation.
