Never too Late to Read Classics discussion

Our epid selection for the final quarter of 2020 is The Lusiads by Luís de Camões .

I was able to purchase a bilingual ebook for $2.99.

I ordered this from my library, so I may well read it. I am still recuperating from that intense game that put my average rating to just below a 3 (usually it's higher than that since 3 means I like it and I try to minimize books I don't like). However, this one doesn't seem to be that long so if it's really dense I can read it in smaller increments.

I am not a big one for epic poems as a rule, but will do my best since this is an interesting looking one.

I plan on reading this in December after I finish my yearly challenges-as a treat. I bought a dual-language ebook for a very reasonable price.

What language is the original in Rosemarie?

I like the idea of the Dual Language books. Might be a good purchase.

The original language is Portuguese. The dual language version was cheaper than the English version.

Hmmm...one would not think so.

This is the ebook I have - Os Lusíadas It is an older translation so it is probably in the public domain.
