By Gonclaves Crespo

Book Overview

Nocturnos is a book of poetry written by the Portuguese poet, Ant������nio Gon�����alves Crespo. The book was first published in 1882 and is considered one of Crespo's most important works. The title, Nocturnos, refers to the night and the poems in the book are all written in a somber and reflective tone. The book is divided into three sections, each containing a series of poems that explore different themes related to the night. The first section is titled ""Nocturnos da Morte"" (Nocturnes of Death) and contains poems that deal with the theme of death and the passing of time. The second section is titled ""Nocturnos do Amor"" (Nocturnes of Love) and contains poems that explore the theme of love and romance. The third and final section is titled ""Nocturnos da Saudade"" (Nocturnes of Longing) and contains poems that deal with the theme of nostalgia and longing for the past.Crespo's poetry is characterized by its melancholic and introspective tone, and his use of language is often highly symbolic and metaphorical. His poems are also known for their musical qualities, with many of them written in a lyrical and rhythmic style.Overall, Nocturnos is a powerful and evocative collection of poetry that explores some of the most profound and universal themes of human experience. It is a testament to Crespo's talent as a poet and his ability to capture the essence of the human condition in his writing.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
