Descrição
Estado de Conservação
The Lusiads is a work of epic poetry by Portuguese writer Luís Vaz de Camões, the first Portuguese epic published in print. Probably begun in 1556 and completed in 1571, it was published in Lisbon on March 12, 1572, in the literary period of Classicism, or late Renaissance, three years after the author's return from the East, via Mozambique.
The work is composed of ten songs, 1,102 stanzas and 8,816 verses in decasyllabic octaves, subject to the fixed rhyme scheme AB AB AB CC – real octave rhyme, or camoniana. The central action is the discovery of the sea route to India by Vasco da Gama, around which other episodes in the history of Portugal are evoked, glorifying the Portuguese people.
Considered the most important work of Portuguese-language literature, it is often compared to Virgil's Aeneid (1st century BC).
Written in the Homeric fashion, The Lusiads is often regarded as Portugal's national epic, much as Virgil's Aeneid was to the ancient Romans, or Homer's Iliad and Odyssey to the ancient Greeks.
