Trovas: Canções de Amor

About the author

António Florêncio Ferreira was a Portuguese author born in 1848 and died in 1914. The clearest confirmed details available online are his name, dates, and his authorship of Trovas: Canções de Amor.

That book was published in Lisbon in 1906 and presents him as a poet working in Portuguese. The collection is made up of short lyrical poems about love, with a tone that feels personal and reflective.

Reliable biographical information about his life appears to be scarce in the sources I could confirm. Project Gutenberg currently lists Trovas: Canções de Amor as the only work by him in its catalog, so it is best to treat him as an obscure literary figure whose known legacy survives chiefly through this volume.
