But why create this work of rhetoric?
Was the English translation a true one?
Our Book of the Month shows the poem’s trail
To remain, through time, a relevant tale.

You may know Virgil and Homer’s epics
But what about Camões of Lisbon?
One thousand two stanzas, each artistic
Form The Lusiad, to be topped by none.

Join the voyage of Vasco da Gama in June's Book of the Month, delving into The Lusiad. Composed originally in Portuguese by Luís de Camões, Os Lusíadas stands against the test of time to still be considered the national poem of Portugal over 450 years later.
