Ramalho Ortigão bol kľúčovou postavou portugalskej literatúry 19. storočia, známy svojim bystrým intelektom a kritickým pohľadom na spoločnosť. Jeho dielo sa vyznačuje prenikavým štýlom a hlbokým záujmom o portugalskú identitu a jej miesto v modernej Európe.

Ortigão bol nielen plodným spisovateľom, ale aj významným novinárom a literárnym kritikom, ktorého eseje a romány dodnes rezonujú svojou nadčasovosťou.
