S. Hume is a travel narrative written in the early 20th century. The book recounts the author's journey across Portugal, exploring its landscapes, cities, culture, and the people along the way, with an emphasis on the beauty and historical significance of the locations visited. Hume expresses his transformation from a preconceived notion of Portugal as an inferior country to a deep appreciation for its unique charm and warm-hearted populace. The opening of the narrative begins with the author's reflections on the motivations behind his journey through Portugal, which stemmed from a need for rest and a desire to explore a country previously unfamiliar to him, despite having passed through it often. Through vivid descriptions of Oporto viewed from the impressive Dom Luis bridge, Hume captures the city's vibrant character, its colorful houses, and the activities surrounding the Douro River. He portrays the local peasantry with respect, noting their hard work and dignity, and hints at the historical depths of the region by referencing significant past events. The beginning not only sets the stage for a personal journey of discovery but also paints a vivid picture of the rich cultural tapestry that defines Portugal.
