The beloved Shepherd (O pastor amoroso) (please click on the sound item)
A Portuguese reads in German for the first time in his life the phonetic excerpt from a text poem of the portuguese poet Fernando Pessoa (Alberto Caeiro). One notices clearly that he doesn't have any knowledge of the Portuguese language, showing instead the natural unsecurity of a learning process. In this sense, and also because he is reading a Portuguese author in a totaly strange language, the process of reading turns here into a metaphor of the poetic content of the poem he is reading.
