About this book
Creators: Bernardim Ribeiro (1482-1552) and Delfim de Brito Guimarães (1872-1933) [Editor] "Saudades: história de menina e moça" by Bernardim Ribeiro is a pastoral novel written in Portuguese and first published in 1554. The first pastoral novel of the Iberian Peninsula, it opens with a haunting confession: a young girl is taken from her father's house to distant lands. There she finds happiness, but in brief time, everything changes. Now she mourns more for the joy she once had than the sorrow she endures. Drawing on classical authors, Ribeiro crafts a tale of longing and loss. (This is an automatically generated summary.) Reading Level: Reading ease score: 51.0 (10th to 12th grade).
