Fernando Pessoa Literatura

Pessoa published very little during his lifetime, with his only major Portuguese book being Mensagem (1934), a symbolic exploration of Portuguese history and the myth of King Sebastian . However, his posthumous fame rests heavily on a "treasure trove" of over 25,000 manuscript pages found in a wooden trunk after his death.

The most volatile and modern of the heteronyms, Campos is a naval engineer born in Tavira. He is the dramatic, futurist, and hysterical voice. He started as a decadent (in The Triumph of the Folly ), evolved into a frenetic Whitmanesque singer of the machine age (in Ode Maritime ), and finally collapsed into a depressive, resigned tone ( Tobacco Shop ). Campos wants to feel everything , in all directions, until he burns out. He is the rockstar of Portuguese poetry. fernando pessoa literatura
