Esta selección de 101 poemas portugueses ha representado un paciente trabajo de traducción guiado por la música, pues la traducción de poesía de una lengua romance a otra permite cantar los poemas bajo un marco común. Fue este marco el que hizo posible resolver cuestiones de ritmo, tras las cuales la traducción pudo encauzarse en los demás aspectos de tipo sintáctico, léxico y estético. Bien se sabe que, al ser una de las formas de expresión más elaboradas y rigurosas, la poesía responde a fundamentos de tipo musical sobre los cuales discurren las palabras. No en vano el verso que titula esta antología apareja la escritura y la música: arroja luces sobre lo esencial tanto en la poesía como en la labor de traducción y destaca la importancia de llevar a cabo el ejercicio de la escritura en o sobre una base musical (ya sea un piano o un ritmo silábico).Busca la rosa.Donde ella estéestarás fuera de ti.

Álvaro de Campos is one of the most influential heteronyms created by Portugal’s great modernist writer Fernando Pessoa. According to Pessoa, Campos was born in Tavira (Algarve) in 1890 and studied mechanical engineering in Glasgow, although he never managed to complete his degree. In his own day, Campos was celebrated—and slandered—for his vociferous poetry imbued with a Whitman-inspired free verse, his praise of the rise of technology and his polemical views that appeared in manifestos, interviews and essays. Here in Margaret Jull Costa and Patricio Ferrari’s translations are the complete poems of Campos. This edition is based on the Portuguese Tinta-da-china edition and includes an illuminating introduction about Campos by the Portuguese editors Jerónimo Pizarro and Antonio Cardiello, facsimiles of original manuscripts and a generous selection of Campos’s prose texts.

The Book of Disquiet is the Portuguese modernist master Fernando Pessoa’s greatest literary achievement. An “autobiography” or “diary” containing exquisite melancholy observations, aphorisms, and ruminations, this classic work grapples with all the eternal questions. Now, for the first time the texts are presented chronologically, in a complete English edition by master translator Margaret Jull Costa. Most of the texts in The Book of Disquiet are written under the semi-heteronym Bernardo Soares, an assistant bookkeeper. This existential masterpiece was first published in Portuguese in 1982, forty-seven years after Pessoa’s death. A monumental literary event, this exciting, new, complete edition spans Fernando Pessoa’s entire writing life.
