Description
Luís Vaz de Camões (1524/1525-1580) is considered the Portuguese language's greatest poet and his masterpiece Os Lusíadas — lyrically chronicling the finding of a sea route to India by the Portuguese explorer Vasco da Gama — is considered the national epic. This excerpt from UNESCO's The Courier offers an exceptional introduction to the author and his epic.
