Books by Fernando Pessoa

Book SynopsisThe Book of Disquiet is one of the great literary works of the twentieth century. Written over the course of Fernando Pessoa's life, it was first published in 1982, pieced together from the thousands of individual manuscript pages left behind by Pessoa after his death in 1935. Now this fragmentary modernist masterpiece appears in a major new edition that unites Margaret Jull Costa's celebrated translation with the most complete version of the text ever produced. It is presented here, for the first time in English, by order of original composition, and accompanied by facsimiles of the original manuscript. Narrated principally by an assistant bookkeeper named Bernardo Soares - an alias of sorts for Pessoa himself - The Book of Disquiet is 'the autobiobraphy of someone who never existed', a mosaic of dreams, of hope and despair; a hymn to the streets and cafés of 1930s Lisbon, and an extraordinary record of the inner life of one of the century's most important writers. This new edition represents the most complete vision of Pessoa's genius.Trade ReviewThe very book to read when you wake at 3am and can't get back to sleep - mysteries, misgivings, fears and dreams and wonderment.

Arguably, the four greatest poets in the Portuguese language were all Pessoa using different names." -- NPR"Here we finally see these poems as they ought to be seen...

Book SynopsisThe writing of Fernando Pessoa reveals a mind shaken by intense inner suffering. In these poems he adopted four separate personae: Alberto Caeiro, Alvaro de Campos, Ricardo Reis and himself, using them to express ''great swarms of thought and feeling''. While each personae has its own poetic identity, together they convey a sense of ambivalence and consolidate a striving for completeness. Dramatic, lyrical, Christian, pagan, old and modern, Pessoa''s poets and poetry contribute to the ''mysterious importance of existence''.

Book SynopsisFernando Pessoa is Portugal’s most important contemporary poet.He wrote under several identities, which he called heteronyms: Albet Caeiro, Alvaro de Campos, Ricardo Reis and Bernardo Soares. He wrote fine poetry under his own name as well, and each of his “voices” is completely different in subject, temperament and style. This volume brings back into print the comprehensive collection of his work published by Ecco Press in 1986.At last, at last, at last, Pessoa again! More Pessoa! One of the very great poets of the twentieth century, again and more! And one of the fascinating figures of all literature, with his manifold identities, his amazing audacities, his brilliance and his shyness. I think I have under control the reluctance I feel in having to share Pessoa with the public he should have had all along in America: until now, only the poets, so far as I can tell, have even heard of him, and delighted and exulted in him. He is, in some ways, the poet of modernism, the only one willing to fracture himself into the parcels of action, anguish, and nostalgia which are the grounds of our actual situation.—C. K. WilliamsPessoa is one of the great originals (a fact rendered more striking by his writing as several distinct personalities) of the European poetry of the first part of this century, and has been one of the last poets of comparable stature, in the European languages, to become known in English. Edwin Honig''s translations of Spanish and Portuguese poetry have been known to anyone who cares about either, since his work on Lorca in the forties, and his Selected Poems of Pessoa (1971) was a welcome step toward a long-awaited larger colection.—W. S. MerwinFernando Pessoa is the least known of the masters of the twentieth-century poetry. From his heteronymic passion he produced, if that is the word, two of our greatest poets, Alberto Caeiro and Álvaro de Campos, and a third, Ricardo Reis, who isn''t bad. Pessoa is the exemplary poet of the self as other, of the poem as testament to unreality, proclamation of nothingness, occasion for expectancy. In Edwin Honig''s and Susan Brown''s superb translations, Pessoa and his ''others'' live with miraculous style and vitality.—Mark Strand

Book SynopsisSitting at his desk, Bernardo Soares imagined himself free forever of Rua dos Douradores, of his boss Vasques, of Moreira the book-keeper, of all the other employees, the errand boy, the post boy, even the cat. But if he left them all tomorrow and discarded the suit of clothes he wears, what else would he do? Because he would have to do something. And what suit would he wear? Because he would have to wear another suit. A self-deprecating reflection on the sheer distance between the loftiness of his feelings and the humdrum reality of his life, The Book of Disquiet is a classic of existentialist literature.Trade ReviewIn a time which celebrates fame, success, stupidity, convenience and noise, here is the perfect antidote -- John Lanchester * Daily Telegraph *A meandering, melancholic series of reveries and meditations.

There is a distinguished mind at work beneath the totally acceptable dullness of clerking. The mind is that of Pessoa.

Book SynopsisFor the first time—and in the best translation ever—the complete Book of Disquiet, a masterpiece beyond comparisonTrade Review"Endlessly ponderable." -- Electric Literature"A triumph of scholarship and translation." -- Marcela Valdes - Publisher Weekly (Starred Review)"As searing as Rilke or Mandelstam." -- The New York Times Book Review"The ultimate futility of all accomplishment, the fascination of loneliness, the way sorrow colors our perception of the world: Pessoa’s insight into his favorite themes was purchased at a high price, but he wouldn’t have had it any other way. A modern masterpiece." -- Adam Kirsch - The New Yorker"As addictive, and endearing, as Borges and Calvino." -- The Washington Post Book World"One of the central figures of European modernism." -- Max Nelson - The New York Review of Books"Pessoa’s work The Book of Disquiet is one of life’s great miracles. Pessoa invented numerous alter egos. Arguably, the four greatest poets in the Portuguese language were all Pessoa using different names." -- NPR"Nobody can render the the hollowed horror of a world wrung out quite as gorgeously as Pessoa." -- Bookforum"Lyrical, poetic—but to call these paragraphs prose poems would be misleading. There is something necessarily prosaic about them. The Book of Disquiet is caught up in the steady drumbeat of ordinary life and all its detritus: a favorite pair of boots, a type of pant that’s in fashion, the way people in Lisbon pronounce Trás-os-Montes, but most of all the ordinary noise of the self thinking about itself. Its pages, like Pessoa’s trunk, are thick with thoughts." -- Poetry Foundation"The Book of Disquiet, a literary vortex that, even in completeness, remains incomplete. A reading experience like no other. It is thrilling, confusing, upsetting, joyous, tedious and profound. You will never forget it, or stop wanting to return to it." -- Chris Power - The New Statesman"Complete edition of a haunted autobiographical novel—or is it a fictionalized autobiography?—that has emerged as an existentialist classic in the 80-plus years since its author's death. Born in Lisbon in 1888, Pessoa might have taught J.D. Salinger and Thomas Pynchon a thing or two about anonymity. He wrote prolifically in three languages but published relatively little, and he hid behind assumed names and identities, some 75 of them in all, which he called 'heteronyms.' The present volume is a case in point, written over the course of many years in the person of two such assumed names, Vicente Guedes and, later, Bernardo Soares. As for Guedes, Pessoa opens, 'This book is not by him, it is him': it is a catalog of Kierkegaard-ian moods, of fears and loathings and the constant presence of death in a fundamentally tragic world. 'I failed life even before I had lived it, because even as I dreamed it, I failed to see its appeal,' writes Pessoa, and he proceeds to make sun-splashed Lisbon a gray and gloomy place. Though often somber, Pessoa is rarely tiresome; he reflects interestingly on such things as the development of science and aesthetics, the pleasures of wasting time ('For those subtle connoisseurs of sensations, there is a kind of handbook on inertia, which includes recipes for every kind of lucidity'), and, always, mortality: 'We are born dead, we live dead, and we enter death already dead.' Readers with a liking for Walter Benjamin and Miguel de Unamuno, Pessoa's intellectual kin, will find much of interest in Pessoa's pages..." -- Kirkus Review"In a time which celebrates fame, success, stupidity, convenience, and noise, here is the perfect antidote." -- John Lancaster - Daily Telegraph"A favorite book: in its determined melancholy, its gentle audacity, and in its insistence on renunciation, frustration, and solitude as the nectars of life, it is almost scarily whole. *The Book of Disquiet* is a diary, but of a self that is several and precarious, and always more potential than actual. Its floating boundaries expand and contract, lazily animated by 'the horror of making our soul a fact.' It is in *The Book of Disquiet*—translated, beautifully, by Margaret Jull Costa—that Pessoa found himself most truly. The system of heteronyms allowed him to disown his words even as he wrote them. The heteronyms formed a small society of alter egos, 'a whole world of friends inside me.'" -- Benjamin Kunkel - The Believer"Readers with a particular interest in modernism will find this work indispensable." -- Publishers Weekly"Pessoa’s rapid prose, snatched in flight and restlessly suggestive, remains haunting, often startling. There is nobody like him." -- W. S. Merwin"Rich, thoughtful, fluid work by translator Margaret Jull Costa... [A] welcome and illuminating spotlight." -- Rick VanderKnyff - Poetry Northwest"A meandering, melancholic series of reveries and meditations. Pessoa's amazing personality is as beguiling and mysterious as his unique poetic output." -- William Boyd"Extraordinary—a haunting mosaic of dreams, autobiographical vignettes, shards of literary theory and criticisms and maxims." -- George Steiner"The very book to read when you wake up at 3 a.m and can't get back to sleep-mysteries, misgivings, fears, and dreams and wonderment. Like nothing else." -- Philip Pullman

Book SynopsisThis is the only integral collection of Pessoa's Caeiro heteronym in English, and the poems are accompanied by the introductions of Ricardo Reis and a memoir by Alvaro de Campos, two of Pessoa's other major poetic heteronyms, as well as a poem dedicated to Caeiro by Coelho Pacheco, believed by many commentators to be another one-off heteronym. Ricardo Reis says: "Alberto Caeiro da Silva was born in Lisbon on April 16, 1889, and died of tuberculosis in the same city on (...), 1915. He spent nearly all his life in a village in Ribatejo, and only returned to the city of his birth in his final months. In Ribatejo he wrote nearly all his poems ..." Fernando Pessoa was educated in English in Durban, as the stepson of a Portuguese diplomat, and was completely bilingual. During his lifetime he was to publish only one collection of his poems in Portuguese, although many appeared in literary journals, under a number of alter egos, or heteronyms, chief amongst them Alberto Caeiro, Alvaro de Campos and Ricardo Reis. At his death in 1935, Pessoa left more than 20,000 manuscripts - poetry and prose - in a large trunk, the contents of which are still being transcribed and deciphered to this day. He is the greatest modern poet in the Portuguese language, but always considered himself a poet in the English tradition.Table of ContentsThe Keeper of Flocks Introduction by Ricardo Reis Poems The Amorous Shephard Introduction by Ricardo Reis Poems Detached Poems The Penultimate Poem The Last Poem Notes in Memory of Master Caeiro by Alvaro de Campos Beyond Another Ocean by C.

Book SynopsisPessoa wrote a large number of poems in English, some of them in the guise of early heteronyms (such as Alexander Search and Charles Robert Anon) which prove to be fascinating precursors of the later, modernist work in Portuguese. While not the equal of the masterly Caeiro, Campos, Reis or Pessoa-himself, these poems deserve to be better known and at least available in the English-speaking world. Pessoa was educated in English in Durban, as the stepson of a Portuguese diplomat, and was completely bilingual. He translated several books from English for Portuguese publishing houses. The sometimes startlingly frank content of the earlier English poems - published privately in Lisbon - may well have prevented their wider dissemination in more prudish British circles. What is not so well-known is that Pessoa continued to write poetry in a bookish form of English throughout his life and this volume is an attempt to show the nature of that work to its originally intended audience - an anglophone readership.

Book SynopsisMessage ("Mensagem") was the only book of verse in his own language that Pessoa saw through the press in his lifetime. On the face of it, a patriotic sequence steeped in 'Sebastianismo', the poems offer much more than this, the Kings and navigators of the Portugal's history standing as avatars of the poet's self, their explorations and heroic deeds projections of the poet's inner creative life. Although Pessoa is famous for the many heteronyms under which he composed verse in wildly different styles, this volume was published under his own name - the 'orthonym', as he defined it - and it remains one of his great masterpieces. This edition brings Jonathn Griffin's fine translation (originally published by the Menard Press in 1992) back into print, as part of Shearsman's Pessoa edition.

Book SynopsisIn 1925, Fernando Pessoa wrote a guidebook to Lisbon for English-speaking visitors, and wrote it in English. The typescript was only discovered amongst his papers long after his death, but has not hitherto been made available in the UK or the USA. The book is fascinating in that it shows us Pessoa's view of his native city - and Pessoa, as an adult, rarely left Lisbon, and it figures large in his poetry. The book can still be useful to visitors today, given that the majority of the sights described are still to be found. A fascinating scrap from the master's table...

Book SynopsisLa pasión de Fernando Pessoa por el género policíaco quedó bien documentada en sus textos: Uno de los pocos divertimentos intelectuales que persisten en lo que aún le queda de intelectual a la humanidad es la lectura de novelas policíacas. Entre el inestimable y reducido número de horas felices que la Vida me permitepasar, considero que el mejor año es aquél queme permite pasar horas enfrascado, de cabeza y corazón, en las lecturas de Conan Doyle o de Arthur Morrison. Tal vez [.] sea motivo de asombro, no que éstos sean mis autores predilectos y de cabecera, sino que confiese que loson. Para los lectores que compartan con el escritor portugués el amor por el género policíaco, la presente edición recoge todas las novelas policíacas de Pessoa, que él mismo reunió bajo el título Quaresma, descifrador. Estostextos, que el autor fue escribiendo a lo largo de su vida y que son en su mayoría inéditos, nunca habían sido publicados completos, tal como Pessoa tenía previsto, de acuerdo con los esquemas hallados entre los documentos que conforman su legado escrito.

Book SynopsisEste volumen reúne doce relatos que brindan al lector la oportunidad de descubrir otra faceta del vasto y cambiante universo narrativo de Fernando Pessoa. Estos cuentos, ora paradójicos, cuando las situaciones presentadas desafíanel sentido común, ora incluso cercanos a la fábula, cuando concluyen con una moraleja, o filosóficos, cuando plantean diálogos con enigmáticos maestros que asumen distintos rostros de un cuento a otro (el mendigo, el eremita, el borracho), enigmas impenetrables, hipótesis metafísicas o temas de la tradición esotérica. Con ellos Pessoa nos invita a realizar un viaje iniciático a una dimensión distinta, sorprendente incluso para los lectoresmás familiarizados con la obra del escritorlisboeta.

Book SynopsisFue en el transcurso de la décima quinta sesión anual de la Sociedad Gastronómica de Berlín cuando su presidente, herr Prosit, hizo su célebre invitación a los miembros. La sesión, por supuesto, era un banquete. A los postres se discutía acaloradamente sobre la originalidad en el arte de la cocina. Corrían malos tiempos para todas las artes. La originalidad había entrado en declive. La gastronomía también acusaba decadencia y debilidad. Así comienza este relato de Alexander Search, una de las múltiples caras de Fernando Pessoa. Escrito en 1907 en lengua inglesa, es una curiosa obra de juventud del poeta portugués con un final imprevisible.

Book SynopsisPoeta excepcional y lúcido comentarista de la literatura y el arte contemporáneos, Fernando Pessoa (1888-1935) no ocultó su interés por el relato policiaco, cuya lectura consideraba una de las pocas diversiones intelectuales que aún le queda a lo que aún queda de intelectual en la humanidad. "El banquero anarquista y otros cuentos de raciocinio" reúne una interesante muestra de una original creación que enlaza con el género del relato de misterio y que pronto deja paso a una voz muy particular, al inconfundible estilo del propio Pessoa. El cuento que da título al volumen constituye un inestimable juego de deducción lógico-silogística, mientras que Una cena muy original -escrito en inglés y firmado con el significativo nombre de Alexander Search, uno de los más antiguos heterónimos del autor- y los restantes cuentos breves -algunos de ellos proyectos nunca finalizados- muestran el talento narrativo y la pasión por el raciocinio del gran poeta portugués.

Book SynopsisLas quadras portuguesas, equivalentes a nuestros cantares, canciones o coplas, son cuartetas octosílabicas de rima alterna, generalmente populares, pero que han sido escritas también a lo largo de los siglos por los poetas "cultos". Uno de estos fue Fernando Pessoa, que junto a sus muchas innovaciones y enriquecimientos de la lírica portuguesa, se mostró fiel a esta forma popular desde su infancia hasta sus últimos días, dejando recopiladas en 1935, el año de su muerte, unos centenares de quadras , editadas póstumamente y reeditadas en numerosas ocasiones. Pese a ello, no habían sido nunca vertidas al castellano.
