Luís de Camões, considered one of the greatest poets in the Portuguese language and a central figure in world literature, turned 500 in 2024. His legacy is celebrated not only in Portugal, but throughout the Portuguese-speaking world, for his monumental contribution to literature and culture.
To celebrate the 500th anniversary of Luís de Camões is to celebrate the very essence of Portuguese literature and culture. His work, rich in artistic and historical value, continues to resonate through the centuries, reminding us of the enduring power of poetry and the human capacity to transcend time through art. Camões is not just a poet of the past; he is a living and inspiring presence in world literature.
The Library will be celebrating this anniversary with a Reading Club on 5 June and also by bringing together Luís Vaz de Camões' most emblematic works on Floor 0. (LINK)
