After attending the Higher Course of Letters, Raul Brandão entered the military career in 1888, from which he retired in 1911, since writing was his true vocation. As a descendant of fishermen and his childhood spent in the fishing area of ​​Foz do Douro, the theme of the sea and nature was recurrent in Brandão's works. Other themes include pain, travel, dreams, and poverty.
