(CONTRIBUTED)
A little more than three and a half centuries ago, there died In Lisbon a man who did much to Influence the literature of his country, just as Shakespeare had done for England. This man was Luiz de Camoens, whose life story reads more like a legend, although the facts aro' undisputed in their veracity.
Camoens was born in Lisbon about" the year 1534, the son of an impoverished family of aristocrats. He began his educational studies in one of the best colleger of his time, fater attending the Faculty of Law in the University of Coimbra. Completing his studies, he Uved for some time in the Court where he attained a certain re- putation on account of his amorous adventures.
