N2  - "Memórias" by Raul Brandão is a memoir written in the early 20th century. This work reflects on the author's personal experiences, memories, and observations about life, death, and the essence of existence. Through a series of reflections, Brandão delves into the poignant moments of his life, touching upon themes of nostalgia, loss, and the passage of time, alongside the influences of the individuals who shaped him.  The opening of "Memórias" introduces readers to the author's contemplative nature as he reflects on his life with both regret and appreciation. It begins with Brandão's acknowledgment of his past mistakes and passions, expressing gratitude for the opportunity to witness the "debauched spectacle of life." He shares vivid memories from his childhood, highlighting brief yet significant moments that colored his world, from the death of his father to the reverberating echoes of his childhood home. The atmosphere of the text is imbued with a sense of longing and melancholy, as Brandão recognizes the impermanence of life and the fading impressions of those he has lost, setting a reflective tone that likely continues throughout the memoir.
