PINTO (Fernão Mendes). PEREGRINAÇÃO e Outras Obras. Lisboa. 1974-1984. - PINTO (Fernão Mendes) PEREGRINAÇÃO e Outras Obras . Texto crítico, prefácio, notas e estudo por António José Saraiva. Lisboa: Livraria Sá da Costa Editora, 1974-1984. 4v.; 195 mm. A critical edition of Fernão Mendes Pinto's Peregrination (Montemor-o-Velho, c. 1510; Pragal, 1583), prepared by António José Saraiva, includes critical text, background preface, notes, and study. The Peregrination – an account of the author's travels through the Orient between 1537 and 1558, encompassing India, China, Japan, Pegu, Malacca, and Java – was first printed in 1614 and is one of the key works of 16th-century Portuguese literature, situated on the border between travelogue, picaresque autobiography, and narrative fiction. Saraiva's interpretation, which emphasized the satirical and anti-clerical character of the work, was decisive in its critical reception in the 20th century. ⚑ Auto-translated via Google Translate
