«Los Lusíadas» is the epic poem by Luis Vaz de Camões, published by Planeta in 1982 in paperback, with 271 pages in Spanish.
The work narrates Vasco da Gama's voyage to India: he sets out from Lisbon, travels along the African coast, and crosses the Indian Ocean amid storms, a scurvy epidemic, and hostile encounters in Mozambique and Calicut. The story blends with mythology; Venus rewards the sailors with a paradisiacal island before their return to Portugal.
The original work dates from 1572; this Planeta edition includes an introduction, verse translation, and notes by Ildefonso-Manuel Gil.
Suitable for students and readers of epic poetry and classical literature interested in the Portuguese literary tradition.
