Ultimatum de 11 de Janeiro   By: Antero Tarquínio de Quental (1842-1891)

Ultimatum de 11 de Janeiro by Antero Tarquínio de Quental is a powerful and thought-provoking piece of literature that delves into the complexities of nationalism, patriotism, and the struggle for independence. Written in the form of a manifesto, the book challenges the reader to question their beliefs and values, urging them to take a stand against oppression and injustice.

Quental's writing is eloquent and stirring, capturing the fervor and passion of the Portuguese people as they fight for their rights and freedoms. His call to arms is both inspiring and confrontational, forcing the reader to confront their own complicity in the status quo and to consider what they are willing to sacrifice for the greater good.

Overall, Ultimatum de 11 de Janeiro is a compelling and timely read that serves as a rallying cry for social change and political reform. Quental's message is as relevant today as it was when it was first published, reminding us of the power of words and the importance of standing up for what is right.
