José Carlos Seabra Pereira - Vida e Figura de Luís de Camões

Life and Figure of Luís de Camões Author: José Carlos Seabra Pereira This book focuses on the life journey of Luís Vaz de Camões and the interpretative potential of the figure he himself proposed and others have reconstructed. Attentive to the risks of fanciful or fallacious narrative construction in the tradition of Camões biographies, this work proceeds with a meticulous consultation of documentary and testimonial sources.

It does not intend to be a typical study of Camões' "life and work," but it does not neglect to contextualize data pertinent to understanding the lines of continuity and the inflection points in his epic, lyric, and dramatic works.
