Fernando Pessoa

Fernando António Nogueira Pessoa was a poet and writer.

It is sometimes said that the four greatest Portuguese poets of modern times are Fernando Pessoa. The statement is possible since Pessoa, whose name means ‘person’ in Portuguese, had three alter egos who wrote in styles completely different from his own. In fact Pessoa wrote under dozens of names, but Alberto Caeiro, Ricardo Reis and Álvaro de Campos were – their creator claimed – full-fledged individuals who wrote things that he himself would never or could never write. He dubbed them ‘heteronyms’ rather than pseudonyms, since they were not false names but “other names”, belonging to distinct literary personalities. Not only were their styles different; they thought differently, they had different religious and political views, different aesthetic sensibilities, different social temperaments. And each produced a large body of poetry. Álvaro de Campos and Ricardo Reis also signed dozens of pages of prose.

The critic Harold Bloom referred to him in the book The Western Canon as the most representative poet of the twentieth century, along with Pablo Neruda.

No conocía la obra de Fernando Pessoa, es mi primera vez y me ha parecido de los mas curiosa e interesante su obra y su personalidad.
No fue “poeta en su tierra” como se suele decir, y aunque ahora es reconocido como uno de los grandes escritores de la literatura portuguesa, murió con muy poco de su obra publicado, que lastre tenemos siempre con el reconocer a los genios a título póstumo.
Aunque los prólogos e introducciones me suelen aburrir, leed este, que personaje este Pessoa… escribió bajo varios seudónimos, a los que creo de forma completa, dándoles personalidades diferentes. Se escribía cartas a si mismo, escribía mejor de pie que sentado, empezó escribiendo en ingles y su última frase escrita también fue en ingles… lo dicho, un personaje.

¡Oh,mar salado, cuánta de tu sal
Son lágrimas de Portugal!


Siento el pasado mas lejos
Y mas cerca la añoranza.


Vaya si estoy harto de semidioses!
¿En donde es que hay gente en el mundo?
Entonces, ¿soy yo el único vil y equivocado en esta tierra?

Poesie eteronime (buona parola aggiunta al mio vocabolario)

La mia valutazione media deriva essenzialmente dall' impostazione del libro.
Temo le poesie non siano tradotte nel migliore dei modi: non so il portoghese, ma leggendo il testo a lato e intuendo il significato mi sembra che la traduzione italiana perda un poco.
Interessanti i disegni.
Avrei gradito capire come queste 30 poesie sono state scelte e cosa rappresentano i 4 poeti eteronimi
