Sonetos de Amor

Rate this book
"Os amantes da melhor literatura têm um motivo a mais para celebrar: esta belíssima edição, em capa dura, com uma seleção dos melhores sonetos camonianos sobre o amor. Líricos, eletrizantes e insuperáveis, textos do autor de Os Lusíadas auscultam, a partir da forma poética difundida por Francesco Petrarca (o italiano reputado como o inventor do soneto), o coração de leitores apaixonados. “Luís de Camões amou muito, sofreu muito, teve gozo no seu sofrimento e escreveu dezenas de sonetos (e canções, elegias, odes etc.) numa repetida tentativa de entender o que era essa coisa simultaneamente terrível e sublime”, escreve Richard Zenith na esclarecedora introdução ao volume."

About the author

Luís de Camões

568 books341 followers
Luís Vaz de Camões (Portuguese pronunciation: [luˈiʃ vaʃ dɨ kaˈmõȷ̃ʃ]; sometimes rendered in English as Camoens; c. 1524 – June 10, 1580) is considered Portugal's, and the Portuguese language's, greatest poet. His mastery of verse has been compared to that of Shakespeare, Vondel, Homer, Virgil, and Dante. He wrote a considerable amount of lyrical poetry (in Portuguese and in Spanish) and drama but is best remembered for his epic work Os Lusíadas (The Lusiads). His recollection of poetry The Parnasum of Luís de Camões was lost in his lifetime.

I love poetry and being able to read it in my own language is even more special because we have words that describe love feeling as any other language can. Just a thought. Camoes is sensitive and the best writer in the Portuguese language, the structure and the way he expresses is just amazing, it is a lovely collection of love poetry.

É uma pequena coletânea de poemas, não são muitos, mas gostei bastante do que li. Principalmente dos paroxismos, é um tema em quase todos e os versos o expressam muito bem.

Mas como causar pode seu favor
Nos corações humanos a amizade
Se tão contrário a si é o mesmo amor?

“If love unleashes harm on me, you’ll know;
And if by my example it seems wrong,
I’m glad to be the one so harshly hurled.”
