Nothing more. It's too little? Is very? The Future will tell.” In this space, this lofty purpose was achieved with the collaboration of eminent personalities from the world of culture in both countries.

Its issues also include texts by Afonso Lopes Vieira; António Sérgio; Aquilino Ribeiro; Reis Chamber; Camilo Pessanha; Guerra Junqueiro; Jaime Cortesão; Leonardo Coimbra; Raul Proença and Teixeira Pascoaes, among others.
