Synopsis
Excerpt from Portugal: An Anthology Portugal, 0 meio mais seguro sera agrupar as manifestacoes da poesia tradicional e individual, que mutuamente se fe cundam, formando uma Anthologia, que se torne 0 sub stratum da Alma Portugueza Ahi apparecerz'i o genio luxo caracterisado pela ternura, 3a hoje reconhecido pelos mais observantes castellanistas, vendo-se forcados a confessar a origem portugueza do Amadis de Gaula, por causa da sentimentalidade peculiar dos seus visinhos. Pela indescorcoavel esperanca, o portuguez soffredor, mesmo submisso pela sinceridade affectiva, at ao momento em que pela revolta interior, pelo impulso da propria con sciencia revindica a justica que lhe compete, sem alarde nem retaliacao. Sao assim as suas Revolucoes, organica mente sociaes, como as de 1385, de 164o, de 1820, e de 1910; nas duas primeiras o povo que salva e restaura a Naciona lidade do seu inimigo natural, o Castelhano nas duas ultimas o predominio do sentimento nacional sobre o sentimento familial, a que o egoismo dynastico sacrificou sempre Portugal.

We do, however, repair the vast majority of imperfections successfully; any imperfections that remain are intentionally left to preserve the state of such historical works., Excerpt from Portugal: An Anthology The Altar-Piece of San Vicente, by Nuno Gonsalves, of which one panel is reproduced as a frontispiece to this book, is one of the few surviving masterpieces of Portuguese mediaeval painting, and gives us the portraits of some of the leading personages of the period when Portugal was a great power. The youth kneeling before St. Vincent in the foreground is Affonso V, 'el rey Cavalleiro' (b. 1432, k. 1438, d. 1481), and the lady opposite is his wife and niece, the Infante of Castile, through whom he claimed the Crown of Castile. The Castilians resisted the union, made her younger sister Isabella queen, defeated the Portuguese at Toro, 1476, as completely as they had been defeated by the Portuguese at Aljubarrota in 1385, and founded the Kingdom of Spain by marring Isabella to Ferdinand of Aragon. Affonso was also involved in Moroccan adventures, which earned him the title of 'the African' and nothing much else. The child behind in his son, John II 'the Perfect' (b. 1455, k. 1481, d. 1495), and the careworn intellectual face in the background, under a large hat, is no other than Prince Henry the Navigator - uncle of Affonso and son of John the Great and Philippa, daughter of John of Gaunt - the most illustrious and interesting personality of this Anglo-Portuguese dynasty. These paintings were lost in dirt and darkness in a Lisbon church until the Revolution. After being most carefully cleaned, they can now be seen in the Museum. Their resplendence makes them a worthy record of old Portugal, and Young Portugal is significantly symbolized in their resurrection.

- s***s (15)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseSeller was fine, arrived promptly with good packaging and in perfect condition. But I should have asked questions about the book. It is really just a recreation of a collection of pages from old catalogues. I was hoping for more information & history of some of the Chickering models. This was not worth $18 to me. Would have been helpful if the seller had given examples of some pages.
