Fernando Pessoa

För första gången på över trettio år samlas Fernando Pessoas viktigaste röster Álvaro de Campos, Alberto Caeiro, Ricardo Reis och Bernardo Soares på svenska i en och samma bok. Urvalet rymmer dikter och prosafragment som på ett brett och varierat sätt knyter an till resan och rörelsen - ett återkommande tema i många av Pessoas efterlämnade skrifter. Samtidigt som hans vuxna liv var begränsat i geografin, stod han ständigt i begrepp att ge sig ut i världen med hjälp av språket och fantasin. Ibland möter vi ett diktjag som blickar mot horisonten från en kaj vid Tejofloden, ibland befinner vi oss på ett fartyg ute till havs, eller ombord på en spårvagn i Lissabon. Andra texter problematiserar resan och rörelsen, vilket blottlägger spänningen inte bara mellan Pessoas eget liv och hans verk, utan också mellan hans olika författarjag - som vart och ett reser på sitt eget sätt, eller väljer att stanna hemma. För urval, inledning och tolkningar står författaren och essäisten Henrik Nilsson. En lång rad av dikterna har aldrig tidigare översatts till svenska.

A book by Fernando Pessoa and some of his poetry in English language.

Message, one of the greatest poems in the whole of Portuguese literature, was Fernando Pessoa's only book written in Portuguese to be published during his lifetime. It is out of an atmosphere of general European decline, and with unwavering focus on his own country in particular, that Pessoa orchestrates his Message: a telling of the great events and protagonists behind the genesis of Portugal, of the golden age of maritime discovery and of subsequent national entropy, all of it predictive and flowing towards the future construction of a new and different empire: the Fifth Empire, which, in the author's vision, would be a matrix of spirituality, messianism and millenarianism. Edited by António Apolinário Lourenço. Translation by Martin Earl and illustrations by Fatinha Ramos.

"One of the great originals of modern European poetry and Portugal's premier modernist."--Washington Post"Pessoa has had many English-language interpreters but none better than Richard Zenith."--New York Review of BooksFernando Pessoa--a poet who lived most of his life in Lisbon, Portugal, and who died in obscurity there-- is now recognized as one of the greatest writers of the twentieth century. In a newly updated and expanded edition of his celebrated 1998 Fernando Pessoa & Co., which Booklist hailed as "a beautiful one-volume course in the soul of the twentieth century," translator and biographer Richard Zenith brings together Pessoa's most memorable poetic works. Present here is poetry by Pessoa's famous trio of alter egos--Alberto Caeiro, Ricardo Reis, and lvaro de Campos--as well as a varied selection of poems signed by Pessoa's own name. From spare minimalism to revolutionary exuberance, Fernando Pessoa & Co. showcases the seminal poet's timeless and innovative work in all of its extraordinary depth and poetic passion." Like Beckett, Pessoa is extremely funny. . . . His work is loaded with delights."--Guardian"Pessoa would be Shakespeare if all that we had of Shakespeare were the soliloquies of Hamlet, Falstaff, Othello and Lear and the sonnets. His legacy is a set of explorations, in poetic form, of what it means to inhabit a human consciousness."--Los Angeles Times Book Review

Writings on Art and Poetical Theory contains a selection of Fernando Pessoa's writings (or those of his heteronyms) on art and poetical theory, originally written in English. In Pessoa's oeuvre one finds not only literary and fictional works but also a multiplicity of theoretical texts on the most diverse subjects concerning artistic movements, literature, and writers. In this book, we witness Pessoa explore, through various heteronyms, general theories on poetics, the poetries of other heteronyms, the uses and abuses of criticism, and more. Also included are essays on sensationism (an aesthetic movement Pessoa dubs a new species of Weltanschauung), translation, and a brief history of English literature, which is comprised of fragments on Shakespeare, Milton, the British Romantics, Dickens, Wilde, and others, as well as additional material, such as Pessoa's own poem Antinous. This edition, prepared by Nuno Ribeiro and Cl udia Souza, allows us to have an overview of Pessoa's writings on art and poetic theory - most of which are presented here for the first time to English readers -, thus opening the way for future studies on one of the most significant authors of Portuguese modernism.

Poesia. First Anthology offers English-language readers a bilingual edition of the first anthology that was made of Fernando Pessoa's poetic work. Edited and introduced by Adolfo Casais Monteiro in the 1940s, it comprises a fine selection of poems as well as several prose texts, including the letter Pessoa addressed to Casais Monteiro explaining the origin of his heteronyms. The book includes a preface by George Monteiro and an essay by Eduardo Lourenço. Translation by Austen Hyde and illustrations by Kleber Sales.

Book ExcerptBook Excerpt: ... That saw the Possible like a dawn grow paleOn the lost night before it, mute and vast. It dates remoter than God's birth can reach, That had no birth but the world's coming after. So the world's to me as, after whispered speech, The cause-ignored sudden echoing of laughter. That 't has a meaning my conjecture knows, But that 't has meaning's all its meaning shows. XXV. We are in Fate and Fate's and do but lackOutness from soul to know ourselves its dwelling, And do but compel Fate aside or backBy Fate's own immanence in the compelling. We are too far in us from outward truthTo know how much we are not what we are, And live but in the heat of error's youth, Yet young enough its acting youth to ignore. The doubleness of mind fails us, to glanceAt our exterior presence amid things, Sizing from otherness our countenanceAnd seeing our puppet will's act-acting strings. An unknown language speaks in
