Last Section Afterword Part 1 Part 2 ... Afterword Prologue A work of art opens up like a tentwhich is entered by the creator and the spectator. Everything inside the tent is connected with the creator and the spectator. It's impossible to understand anything without the knowledge of both: if you know the spectator, you'll understand only part of the tent; if you know only the creator, then you probably won't understand anything. Furthermore, reader, you have to remember the people depicted in this book are not as they really are, that is, in their fullness, which is also impossible, but from the point of view of a contemporary. In the following prologues and in the book, the author is as much a real person as the other persons and, therefore, if you could, do not relate him to the author who actually exists, limit yourself to what's given in the book, and do not go beyond its limit. And if your mind is bent on relating every literary work to real life, and not with the literary works themselves, then relate it to the age, to the class, anything you like, but not to the real authorbe an educated person. The two prologues that precede Chapter I are meant to disclaim the convention of a narrator with a single mind throughout the book. Like his characters, the author has a before and after, and even a middle.

s="na";c="na";j="na";f=""+escape(document.referrer) From: John Clemens, Discovering Macau: A Visitor's Guide (HK, 1977), 80ff. Buildings of Macau The purest Chinese buildings are the temples, which are among the few structures in the city that are wholly supported by columns. Chinese framed-wooden houses are rare, and in nearly all cases, it is the walls that support the roof and ceilings above. The universal roofing in Macau is Chinese, often with double-tiling. Looking across to the Pearl River from the Monte Citadel or some other high point, the visitor is confronted with a sea of pitched roof-tops, undulating in browns and greens. The effect is of seeing a purely Chinese city, horizontal and harmonious. These roofs cover many fine old Chinese homes, built for the most part between 1700 and 1900. The typical exterior, constructed to give the corporate family privacy and even seclusion from the outside world, is heavily walled, with grey brickwork and a recessed doorway. The doorway itself is raised several steps above street-level, and there is usually a small porch. Eaves are decorated in porcelain, while the beam beneath the eaves is often solidly carved. Further decoration at the top of the wall is in the form of bas relief, the bright colours contrasting with the dull grey exteriors. There is also some grille-work decoration on the outer walls, the Chinese bricks arranged in zig-zag fashion. Many later Chinese buildings also feature continuous second-storey windows, delicately carved and fenestrated with oyster shell.

Encyclopedia Gama, Vasco da vă skō də gă mə, Port. v¤sh kō d¤ g¤ mə ) , c.1469–1524, Portuguese navigator, the first European to journey by sea to India. His epochal voyage (1497–99) was made at the order of Manuel I . With four vessels, he rounded the Cape of Good Hope, passed the easternmost point reached by Bartolomeu Dias in 1488, continued up the east coast of Africa to Malindi, and sailed across the Indian Ocean to Calicut. This voyage opened up a way for Europe to reach the wealth of the Indies, and out of it grew the Portuguese Empire. Immediately Portugal gained great riches from the spice trade. Gama dictated the instructions for Cabral's voyage (1500–1502) to India, and in 1502 he himself led a fleet of 20 ships on his second India voyage. With this force he attempted to establish Portuguese power in Indian waters and sought to secure the submission of a number of chiefs on the African coast. He was harsh in his methods and was not as good an administrator as many of the Portuguese captains who later went to the East, but he was the first, and he was fittingly honored with many tributes and the title of count of Vidigueria. In 1524 he was sent back to India as viceroy, but he died soon after his arrival. Gama's voyage is the subject of Camoens's epic

Memória Virtual Conteúdo genérico-universal, com o objectivo prioritário de divulgar o que de melhor vai acontecendo em Portugal e no Mundo. Entrada novembro 01, 2004 CAMÕES (I) A biografia de Camões, maior poeta português de sempre, apresenta diversos aspectos em que, não existindo base documental segura, se baseia em indícios e, em alguns casos, na “lenda”. Luís Vaz de Camões nasceu provavelmente em Lisboa (ou Coimbra?), em 1524 ou 1525, numa família da pequena nobreza, de origem galega, filho de Simão Vaz de Camões e de Ana de Sá e Macedo. Tendo a sua educação sido iniciada em Lisboa por dominicanos e jesuítas, terá depois estudado em Coimbra, eventualmente no Mosteiro de Santa Cruz (de que era prior o tio, D. Bento de Camões), até cerca dos 18 anos, sem chegar contudo a frequentar a Universidade. Nessa ocasião, frequenta os centros aristocráticos, onde tem acesso às obras de Petrarca, que tomaria por modelo, obtendo domínio sobre a literatura clássica da Grécia e Roma; lê latim e aprende a escrever em castelhano. Entre 1542 e 1545, terá vivido em Lisboa, rapidamente se notabilizando como poeta, apaixonando-se por Catharina de Atayde, dama da Rainha (a que dedicou poemas, designando-a pelo anagrama de “Natércia”).

DISQUIET ON DOURADORES: LITERARY LISBON Photos and Commentary by Walter Cummins Bernardo Soares, the fictional author of Fernando Pessoa's The Book of Disquiet, both lived and worked on the fourth floor of buildings on Lisbon's Rua dos Douradores. Of that street he says, And if the office on Rua dos Douradores represents life for me, the fourth-floor room where I live, on this same Rua dos Douradores, represents Art for me. Yes, Art, residing on the very same street as Life, but in a different place. Art, which gives me relief from life without relieving me of living, being as monotonous as life itself, only in a different place. Yes, for me the Rua dos Douradores contains, the meaning of everything and the answer to all riddles, except for the riddle of why riddles exist, which can never be answered. (Richard Zenith translation) Rua dos Douradores Rua dos Douradores itself is nondescript , narrow and ordinary, too cramped to offer a good look at the buildings, a number of which have the height of four or five stories. Even though Pessoa/Soares wrote seven or so decades ago, the rua probably hasn't changed much beyond the shops at ground level and the people and businesses within. Elevador de Santa Justa While Pessoa subtitled The Book of Disquiet Soares was more than a pseudonym for Pessoa, but rather one of a number of what he called heteronyms, which differ from pseudonyms because they are distinct personas with extensive biographical details and with unique literary styles and subjects often nothing like Pessoa's own. They wrote and published prose and poetry in English as well as Portuguese. Pessoa began inventing them in childhood and developed many of these identities throughout his life. One of his English translators, Richard Zenith, has counted approximately 75. At the end of his version of

Há quem diga que isso de Camões ter nascido em Chaves é uma treta. Pois claro que é uma treta. Camões nunca poderia ter nascido em Chaves. O grande épico, e fabulador de feitos heróicos, ele também herói sem recompensa, que morreu numa espelunca comido de miséria e de doença, como poderia nascer numa cidade tão rica e tão sisuda? No entanto, está mais que provado que a família de Camões era sem dúvida a mesma que construiu e habitou a casa de Vilar de Nantes. É provável até que o poeta tenha passado algumas temporadas aí, bebendo a água da serra, ouvindo os pardais nos carvalhais, debaixo de uma cerejeira enquanto compunha um soneto de amor. Pois a casa, embora pequena para os nossos olhos actuais, habituados a edifícios enormes repletos de pequenas caixas onde vivemos entalados entre os móveis, era, há quatrocentos anos atrás, bastante confortável. Visitem-se as aldeias em redor e deite-se uma olhada às casas de granito com pouco mais de cinquenta anos que as constituem: pequenas, de uma a duas divisões e o curral por baixo onde conviviam os porcos, a burra e uma ou duas cabras leiteiras. A casa dos Camões, a quem a visitar, mostra uma data na ombreira da porta principal: 1574. Não se sabe se é a data de construção, se é a data de restauração. Propomos a segunda hipótese, uma vez que era costume entre fidalgos (e os Camões eram gente fidalga) a reconstrução das habitações quando aumentava a família ou quando a casa estava em vias de ruir. A casa tem o rés-do-chão e o primeiro andar. No rés-do-chão guardavam-se as cavalgaduras, os porcos e as cabras. Para isso não faltava espaço. No primeiro andar temos uma varanda com o desenho típico da região e umas quantas divisões separadas por tabiques de madeira e gesso. Havia ainda uma outra parte da casa, e que ruiu recentemente, que tinha mais algumas divisões, provavelmente quartos de dormir em cima e em baixo a tulha do cereal.
