The work focuses on the intellectual, political, and moral development of the author, a prominent Brazilian thinker, diplomat, and abolitionist. Through personal reminiscences, Nabuco explores the formation of his liberal ideals, his relationship with Brazilian and European culture, and the major influences and events that shaped his worldview. The book offers readers insight into both the individual experience of self-formation and broader reflections on Brazilian society, politics, and identity during a transformative era. The opening of "Minha formação" introduces Nabuco's motivations for uniting his memoirs, composed over several years with evolving perspectives, and addresses his children as dedicatees. In the preface, he anticipates mixed responses to his work—acknowledging personal contradictions and shifts—but stresses the sincerity of his account. The narrative then moves into childhood and early academic experiences, recounting the influence of his father’s liberalism, encounters with political and literary figures, and the formative impact of key texts—especially Bagehot’s writings on constitutional monarchy. Nabuco describes his oscillations between liberal, republican, and monarchist sympathies, connecting his personal growth to the broader political shifts in Brazil and Europe. Throughout, he reflects on his intellectual curiosity, cosmopolitan interests, and eventual gravitation toward causes like abolition, demonstrating how these experiences and influences laid the groundwork for his later public life.
