A Critical Introduction proposes a new didactic and dynamic way of reading the great twentieth-century poet Fernando Pessoa (1888-1935). The aim is to present a holistic vision of this complex poet, promoting his literary geniality in order to better understand his orthonymic-heteronymic poetry. A guiding motif is Pessoa's own Be as plural as the universe. In leading the reader through the poet's published literary work, Jerónimo Pizarro allows an intimate perspective, alongside an academic one, to better understand the workings of Pessoa's mind and life. Discussion centres on the dilemmas an editor faces when editing posthumously. A prime question revolves around the genesis of Pessoa's heteronyms and orthonyms. Understanding is revealed by a critical perspective on the unity that exists in all of Pessoa's literary work. Interpretations of the poems; explanation of the profundity of The Book of Disquiet; and his isms of Paulism, Caeirism, Intersectionism and Cessationism, arediscussed and analy

THE MOST CONCISE ANTHOLOGY OF THE VASTEST OF POETS This book is an invitation to «unlearn Pessoa,» to use an expression by the master, Alberto Caeiro, and to read him as if we had just discovered him. Contrary to a recent tendency to locate the poet in a new setting—less literary and cultural, more urban and utilitarian—this Minimal Anthology proposes the discovery or rediscovery of Fernando Pessoa through some of the twentieth century’s most astonishing poems: from «Maritime Ode» to «Tobacco Shop,» moving through «Slanting Rain,« «The Monster,» «The Keeper of Flocks,» «Opiary,» «Autopsychography,» and many lesser‑known poems, all of them revealing a genius that continues to elicit shock, delight, and admiration. The essential poetry of Fernando Pessoa and his principal heteronyms, in an edition by Jerónimo Pizarro. Also available in Portuguese.
