A Little Larger Than the Entire Universe Selected PoemsDescription
This is the largest and richest volume of poetry by Pessoa available in English. It includes generous selections from the three poetic alter egos that the Portuguese writer dubbed "heteronyms" - Alberto Caeiro, Ricardo Reis and Alvaro de Campos - and from the vast and varied work he wrote under his own name.3. Poemas de Alvaro de Campos: (com biografia e resumo da obra) (Portuguese Edition)
Description
lvaro de Campos (Tavira ou Lisboa1 , 13 ou 15 de Outubro2 de 1890 ?3) um dos heternimos mais conhecidos, verdadeiro alter ego do escritor portugus Fernando Pessoa, que fez uma biografia para cada uma das suas personalidades literrias, a que chamou heternimos. Como alter ego de Pessoa, lvaro de Campos sucedeu a Alexander Search, um heternimo que surgiu ainda na frica do Sul, onde Pessoa passou a infncia e adolescncia. Depois de uma educao vulgar de liceu lvaro de Campos foi estudar engenharia, primeiro mecnica e depois naval em Glasgow, realizou uma viagem ao Oriente, registrada no seu poema Opirio, e trabalhou em Londres, Barrow on Furness e Newcastle on Tyne (1922). Desempregado, teria voltado para Lisboa em 1926, mergulhando ento num pessimismo decadentista. Em 13 de Janeiro de 1935, Fernando Pessoa escreveu uma longa carta ao escritor e crtico literrio Adolfo Casais Monteiro, que lhe solicitara resposta a algumas questes, designadamente sobre a gnese dos heternimos4. Em resposta, Pessoa fez uma histria direta dos seus principais heternimos, que considera serem Alberto Caeiro, Ricardo Reis e lvaro de Campos. Eu vejo diante de mim, no espao incolor mas real do sonho, as caras, os gestos de Caeiro, Ricardo Reis e lvaro de Campos. Constru-lhes as idades e as vidas. Quanto a Bernardo Soares, ajudante de guarda-livros na cidade de Lisboa e autor do Livro do Desassossego, uma das suas mais conhecidas personalidades literrias, Pessoa esclarece que ele no um verdadeiro heternimo: O meu semi-heternimo Bernardo Soares, que alis em muitas coisas se parece com lvaro de Campos, aparece sempre que estou cansado ou sonolento, de sorte que tenha um pouco suspensas as qualidades de raciocnio e de inibio; aquela prosa um constante devaneio. um semi-heternimo porque, no sendo a personalidade a minha, , no diferente da minha, mas uma simples mutilao dela. Sou eu menos o raciocnio e a afetividade. Entre todos os heternimos, lvaro de Campos foi o nico a manifestar fases poticas diferentes. Houve trs frases distintas na sua obra. Comeou a sua trajetria como Decadentista (influenciado pelo Simbolismo), mas logo adere ao Futurismo: a chamada Fase Sensacionista, em que produz, com um estilo assemelhado ao de Walt Whitman, versilibrista, jactante, e com uma linguagem eufrica onde abundam as onomatopeias, uma srie de poemas de exaltao do Mundo moderno, do progresso tcnico e cientfico, da industrializao e da evoluo da Humanidade: lvaro de Campos muito influenciado por Marinetti, o fundador do futurismo. Aps uma srie de desiluses e crises existenciais, passa para a Fase Niilista ou Intimista e assemelha-se muito, sobretudo nas temticas abordadas, obra do Pessoa ortnimo: a desiluso com o Mundo em que vive, a tristeza, o cansao (o que h em mim sobretudo cansao, assim comea um dos seus mais famosos poemas) leva-o a refletir, de modo assaz saudosista, sobre a sua infncia, passada na velha casa: infncia arquetpica, de uma felicidade plena, o contraponto ao seu presente. Uma fase caracterizada pelo cansao e pelo sono que se denota bastante no poema pessimista Dactilografia da obra Poemas: Que nusea de vida! Que abjeco esta regularidade! Que sono este ser assim! No poema Aniversrio lvaro de Campos compara a sua infncia, o tempo em que festejava o dia dos meus anos com o tempo presente, em que, afirma j no fao anos. Duro. Somam-seme dias. Este talvez o exemplo mais acabado e mais conhecido dessa mitificao da infncia, por contraste tristeza e descrena do poeta no presente.4. The Book of Disquiet (Penguin Classics)

Winner of the Calouste Gulbenkian Translation Prize for Portuguese Translation
Fernando Pessoa was many writers in one. He attributed his prolific writings to a wide range of alternate selves, each of which had a distinct biography, ideology, and horoscope. When he died in 1935, Pessoa left behind a trunk filled with unfinished and unpublished writings, among which were the remarkable pages that make up his posthumous masterpiece,The Book of Disquiet, an astonishing work that, in George Steiner's words, "gives to Lisbon the haunting spell of Joyce's Dublin or Kafka's Prague."
Published for the first time some fifty years after his death, this unique collection of short, aphoristic paragraphs comprises the "autobiography" of Bernardo Soares, one of Pessoa's alternate selves. Part intimate diary, part prose poetry, part descriptive narrative, captivatingly translated by Richard Zenith,The Book of Disquietis one of the greatest works of the twentieth century.

"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. Williams
"Pessoa 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. Merwin
"Fernando 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 lvaro 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
Fernando Pessoa is Portugals 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.
8. Philosophical Essays: A Critical Edition
Feature
Used Book in Good ConditionDescription
Fernando Pessoa claimed to be inhabited by thousands of philosophies, all of which he intended to develop in his unfinished project of English-language Philosophical Essays. The resulting fragments were never published by Pessoa himself and almost the entirety of them are presented in this edition for the very first time in history. This volume exhibits Pessoas musings and wild insights on the history of philosophy, the failures of subjectivity, and the structure of the universe to reveal an unexpectedly scholarly, facetious, and vigorous theoretical mind. Written under the pre-heteronyms of Charles Robert Anon and Alexander Search, these texts constitute the foundation for the fabrication of Pessoas future heteronyms. They are the testimony of a writer who referred to himself as a poet animated by philosophy. Through editor Nuno Ribeiros careful critical efforts, a new and fundamental facet of the work of one of modernitys most seminal geniuses has now been brought to light in a remarkably reliable and clear fashion.9.

10. Modern Classics Selected Poems (Penguin Classics)
Description
The 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'.11. Palavras de Luz - Fernando Pessoa (Portuguese Edition)
