The opening of this work introduces the overarching themes and the structure of the narrative. It seeks to elucidate the history of Portugal by dividing it into two major cycles: the rise of the nation characterized by its explorations and conquests, and its later decline. The author expresses a desire to remind readers of Portugal's rich historical heritage at a time when national pride is threatened by external and internal political unrest.
