The first European artist to cross the equator, Camoes's narrative reflects the novelty and fascination of that original encounter with Africa, India and the Far East. The poem's twin symbols are the Cross and the Astrolabe, and its celebration of a turning point in mankind's knowledge of the world unites the old map of the heavens with the newly discovered terrain on earth. Yet it speaks powerfully, too, of the precariousness of power, and of the rise and decline of nationhood, threatened not only from without by enemies, but from within by loss of integrity and vision. \n\nThe first translation of The Lusiads for almost half a century, this new edition is complemented by an illuminating introduction and extensive notes. \n\nABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe.

It is written in Homeric fashion and focuses mainly on a fantastical interpretation of the Portuguese voyages of discovery during the 15th and 16th centuries. Os Lusiadas is often regarded as Portugal's national epic, much in the way as Virgil's Aeneid was for the Ancient Romans, as well as Homer's Iliad and Odyssey for the Ancient Greeks. It was first printed in 1572, three years after the author returned from the Indies. The poem consists of ten cantos written in the decasyllabic ottava rima with the most important part, the arrival in India, at the beginning of Canto VII.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50401569308945,"sku":"CIN1909669466G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51054332772625,"sku":"NIN9781909669468","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1909669466.jpg?v=1751124456"},{"product_id":"os-lusiadas-book-luis-vaz-de-camoes-9781434835659","title":"Os Lusíadas","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51025947623697,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51025950212369,"sku":"NIN9781434835659","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1434835650.jpg?v=1751337851"},{"product_id":"lusiads-book-luis-vaz-de-camoes-9781848616790","title":"The Lusiads","description":"The Lusiads is Camoes' 16th-century masterpiece and to all intents and purposes his attempt at a Portuguese founding narrative along the lines of the Aeneid, dealing with the rise of Portugal as a maritime power.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51056871375121,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51056874029329,"sku":"NIN9781848616790","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52538799194385,"sku":"NLS9781848616790","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1848616791.jpg?v=1751060261"},{"product_id":"lusiads-book-luis-vaz-de-camoes-9781420978209","title":"The Lusiads","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51210808033553,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51210809803025,"sku":"NIN9781420978209","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1420978209.jpg?v=1751115369"},{"product_id":"les-lusiades-ou-les-portugais-poeme-de-camoens-en-dix-chants-ed-1825-book-de-camues-l-luis-de-camoes-9782012695931","title":"Les Lusiades ou Les portugais, poëme de Camoëns, en dix chants (Éd.1825)","description":"Les Lusiades ou Les portugais, poeme de Camoens, en dix chants.

During his lifetime the Portuguese Empire, grew rapidly and this was, perhaps, a Golden Age for Portugal in many areas. His lyrical poetry showed such mastery that, for many, his talents are the equal of Shakespeare, Homer or Dante. With lines as encompassing and truthful as em v rias flamas variamente ardia (I burnt myself at many flames) it is hard to argue against. Probably born in 1524 it is unknown as to where. There is a statue dedicated to him in Constanzia which together with Lisbon, Coimbra or Alenquer also rival as his birthplace. What is known is that he was an only child from a fading family of the old Aristocracy. His father went to India to pursue his fortune and died in Goa. His mother later remarried and for Cam es early life was financially comfortable. He was educated within the Catholic church and then attended the University of Coimbra giving him access to a wide range of classical and contemporary literature. Aside from his native Portuguese he read in Latin and Italian and wrote poetry in Spanish. What can be acknowledged from his work was that Cam es was a man of great learning and widely read. He was able to use that knowledge and influence to write beautiful and lasting poetry. Cam es was a romantic, and it was rumoured, fell in love with a lady in waiting to the Queen and also Princess Maria. Possibly due to indiscretions surrounding these love affairs, he was exiled from Lisbon and enlisted in the overseas militia where he lost the sight in his right eye and eventually returned to Lisbon. He now led a bohemian lifestyle and a fracas resulted in him injuring a member of the royal stables. He was imprisoned but his mother successfully pleaded for his release which involved paying a large fine and serving three years in militia in the Orient after which he took up a post in Macau. During this time he was shipwrecked and some romantics claim that he swam ashore whilst holding aloft the manuscript of his unfinished epic; Os Lus adas, the poetical tale of how Vasco da Gama discovered India. When finally back in Lisbon, in 1570, he finished and then published two years later, 'Os Lusiadas', the masterpiece for which his poetic talent has deservedly been recognised. In July of that year he was granted a royal pension, probably in recompense for both his service in India and his having written Os Lus adas. Luis Vaz de Cam es died in 1580 on 10th June, coincidentally Portugal's national day, and is buried in the Jeronimos Monastery in Lisbon.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51678875123985,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51678875320593,"sku":"NIN9781787370128","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1787370127.jpg?v=1751184597"},{"product_id":"lusiads-book-luis-vaz-de-camoes-9780809301287","title":"The Lusiads","description":"1998 is the quincentenary of Vasca da Gama's voyage via southern Africa to India, the voyage celebrated in this new translation of one of the greatest poems of the Renaissance.
