Description

Paródia ao primeiro canto dos Lusíadas de Camões por quatro estudantes de Évora… is a playful parody written in the late 19th century, specifically in 1880, that humorously transforms the first canto of the renowned epic Os Lusíadas by Luís de Camões. This literary work combines elements of satire and burlesque to highlight themes surrounding drunkenness and revelry, reimagining the original text in a light-hearted manner through the lens of college students from Évora. The parody recounts the amusing exploits of four theologian students who, under the cloak of academic life, engage in an adventurous and libation-fueled reworking of Camões’ themes. The narrative revolves around their spirited gatherings in the surroundings of Évora, where they celebrate their camaraderie and passion for wine while cleverly referencing their historical and literary predecessors. This text unfolds as a series of verses that elevate the art of drinking and fellowship, intertwining traditional motifs with comedic incidents that portray various inebriated characters, ultimately delivering a humorous reflection on the nature of friendship and indulgence.
