Book Description
Excerpt from Luis De Camões and the Lusiads Portuguese literature probably suggests the Letters of a Portuguese N nn which are m French, or the Sonnets from the P07 tngnese which are in English. This neglect is, no doubt, due to the political position of Portugal. If Portugal were an impor tant nation politically, literary lion-hunters would be busy discovering masterpieces in Portuguese literature. But Portugal does not count much in the comity of nations, and consequently her literature does not count much, too. Snobbery, unfortunately, is an evil not unknown even among the intellectually elect. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
