Dans ces mémoires, le célèbre Marquis de Pombal raconte son ascension fulgurante au sein de la cour portugaise et les défis qu'il doit relever pour moderniser son pays. De la reconstruction de Lisbonne après le tremblement de terre de 1755 à la réforme de l'éducation en passant par les conflits avec l'Église Catholique, Pombal nous offre un regard unique sur le Portugal du XVIIIe siècle.
