Published anonymously. "The publication of the work provoked so many protests that the edition was confiscated. Despite all the investigations by the police, the identity of the author was not discovered. Only much later, after Mello Franco had taken up residence in Rio de Janeiro, did he admit ... to being the author" (Moraes)
