Duarte also wrote a book on horseriding and the martial arts; he found physical activity helpful in overcoming his melancholy. A very interesting work, particularly if you want to know the best way to couch a lance. And there's some fascinating stuff in there on horseriding in Ireland and Morocco.
Why does "saudade" have that spelling in the modern language, by the way? It's quite different from the way Duarte spells it and it's not what we'd expect going by the word's etymology. It should be *soidade or *soudade. Apparently there are 3 possible reasons (I always assumed it was the last one):
