Biography of Luís Vaz de CamõesPortuguese poet, son of Simão Vaz de Camões and Ana de Sá e Macedo, Luís Vaz de Camões was born around 1524/1525, it is unknown exactly where, and died on June 10, 1580, in Lisbon. It is thought that he studied Literature and Philosophy in Coimbra, having had as protector his paternal uncle, D. Bento de Camões, friar of Santa Cruz and chancellor of the University. Everything seems to indicate that it belonged to the little nobility. Several exiles are attributed to him, being one for Ceuta, where it was hit like soldier and in combat lost the right eye - loss mentioned in the Canção Lembrança da Longa Saudade - and another one for Constancia, between 1547 and 1550, thanks, it is said , for offenses to a certain court lady. After returning to Lisbon, he was arrested in 1552 as a result of a feud with an official of the Court, and in the Tronco prison. He left the following year, completely forgiven by the aggressor and the king, as one reads in a letter sent from India, to which he departed that same year, either to obtain pardon more easily or to free himself from the life of Lisbon, which did not satisfy him. According to some authors, it was at this point that he composed the first song of Os Lusíadas. In India it seems not to have been happy. Goa disappointed him, as can be read in the sonnet Cá nesta Babilónia donde mana. He took part in several military expeditions and, in one of them, in the Cape Guardafui, wrote one of the most beautiful songs: Junto dum seco, fero e estéril monte. He then traveled to Macao, where he held the position of chief donor of the dead and absent, and wrote in the cave now recognized by his name six more Cantos of the famous epic poem. He returned to Goa, shipwrecked on the voyage at the mouth of the Mecom River, but was saved, swimming with one arm and raising with the other, above the waves, the manuscript of the immortal epic, a fact documented in Canto X, 128. In this shipwreck he saw his "Dinamene", a Chinese girl who had become fond of him, die. This fateful death dedicated the famous sonnets of the cycle Dinamene, among which stands out Ah! Minha Dinamene! Assim deixaste. In Goa he suffered slanderous accusations, painful persecutions, and hard work. Diogo do Couto came to find him in Mozambique in 1568, "so poor that he ate with friends", working in the Lusíadas and in his Parnassus, "a book of many erudition, doctrine and philosophy," according to the same author. In 1569, after 16 years of exile, returned to Lisbon, having his friends paid the debts and bought the passport. Only three years later he managed to obtain the publication of the first edition of Os Lusíadas, which earned him D. Sebastião, to whom he was dedicated, an annual tenure of 15,000 réis for a term of three years and last renewed in 1582 in favor of his mother, who survived him. The last years of Camões were embittered by disease and misery. The tradition says that if he did not die of hunger it was due to the solicitude of a slave Jau, brought from India, who went by night, without the poet knowing, to beg door to door the bread the next day. The truth is that he died on June 10, 1580, and his burial was done at the expense of a charity, the Company of the Courts. A friend of his, his friend had a significant epitaph inscribed on his bed: "Here lies Luís de Camões, prince of the poets of his time, living poorly and miserably, and so died." If the shortage of documents and the autobiographical records of his work helped to construct a legendary image of a miserable poet, exiled and unhappy in love, who was exalted by the romantics (Camões, the cursed poet, victim of fate, misunderstood, abandoned by love and solitary), another facet of his life. Camões was indeed a determined, humanistic, thoughtful, traveled, adventurous, experienced man who was dazzled by the discovery of new worlds and of "Another civilizing being." Therefore, says Jorge de Sena: "If we know little of Caes, biographically speaking, we all know of his poetic persona, since not many poets at any time transformed their own experience and thought into such a revealing work of art as the poetry of Camões is." On 10 June, the Day of Camões, Portugal and the Portuguese Communities are celebrated.
