It was written by Henrique Sequerrq, former editor-in-chief of automagazine Turbo and focus on the life of the then so popular and today so forgotten Infante D. Afonso de Bragança, duke of Oporto, aka "Arreda" (move away) due to his impetuous drive.
A prince who lacked interest for the monotonous palace life and preferred the joys of motoring and collecting cars.
The ups and downs of a prince who once was Crown-Prince of Portugal and Vice Roy of (Portuguese) India and died in very poor conditions abandonned by his family, both the Braganças and the Savoys.
The book deals with his unexpected marriage to Nevada Hayes - a character who recently deserved herself a book, "Nevada, the american who wanted to be Queen of Portugal".
Some interesting and rare photos that I had never seen before.
The book was foreworded by Vasco Callixto, another well-known journalist, whose grand-father knew the Infante personally.
