In \u003ci\u003eThe Collected Lyric Poems of Lu s de Cam es\u003c\/i\u003e, the award-winning translator of \u003ci\u003eThe Lus ads\u003c\/i\u003e gives English readers the first comprehensive collection of Cam es's sonnets, songs, elegies, hymns, odes, eclogues, and other poems--more than 280 lyrics altogether, all rendered in engaging verse. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Cam es (1524-1580) was the first great European artist to cross into the Southern Hemisphere, and his poetry bears the marks of nearly two decades spent in north and east Africa, the Persian Gulf, India, and Macau. From an elegy set in Morocco, to a hymn written at Cape Guardafui on the northern tip of Somalia, to the first modern European love poems for a non-European woman, these lyrics reflect Cam es's encounters with radically unfamiliar peoples and places. Translator Landeg White has arranged the poems to follow the order of Cam es's travels, making the book read like a journey. The work of one of the first European cosmopolitans, these poems demonstrate that Cam es would deserve his place among the great poets even if he had never written his epic.\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"What an occasion!

Superbly clear and seemingly effortless, Landeg White's translations reveal a thoroughly modern and engaging Camões, one who will undoubtedly speak to new generations of readers. White's organization of the poems by Camões's travels to Africa, India, and beyond makes the book read like a journey and gives a provocative vision of Camões's range as a poet.
