From Lisbon to the World

Fernando Pessoa is one of the 20th century's greatest poets. Until some years ago known in the English-speaking world only among a minority of connaisseurs, his work is finally being translated into English. Born in Lisbon in 1888, Pessoa was only forty-seven when he died, but he left behind a staggering number of unpublished manuscripts that are still being brought to light. George Steiner heralded the day Pessoa discovered his major Portuguese heteronyms. Today well over a hundred Pessoa heteronyms are known. Lately, another Pessoa is emerging - an English writer and thinker. In this volume Monteiro continues to explore and interpret the world of Pessoa to English-speaking readers.

Fernando Pessoa este unul dintre cei mai mari poeti ai secolului XX. Pana in urma cu cativa ani, cunoscut in lumea vorbitoare de limba engleza doar in randul unei minoritati de cunoscatori, opera sa este in cele din urma tradusa in engleza.
