A collection of biographies of great personalities connected to Universidade Católica Portuguesa that: addresses the life of the person portrayed over time, referring aspects of their personal life which are striking or that have an impact on the world and societies; identifies their teachings and reflections which can act as lessons for the present; emphasises their professional paths and their intellectual paths; projects their legacy for the present and for the future. By reconstructing the past of some, the path of others is strengthened.
