Descrição

To celebrate the 100th anniversary of the literature and art magazine Athena (1924-2024), one of Pessoa’s main editorial projects, Casa Fernando Pessoa launched three volumes with poems by Ricardo Reis, Alberto Caeiro and Fernando Pessoa himself. It was in this magazine that for the first time the poetry of the heteronyms Alberto Caeiro and Ricardo Reis was published.

“This volume includes the poems of Fernando Pessoa orthonym published in the magazine Athena. In the copy that belonged to Pessoa, on display at Casa Fernando Pessoa, you can see notes and underscores that the writer made by hand over the printed text, marks of his permanent temptation to rewrite. Here, the poems are reproduced as published.”

Introduction by Clara Riso, Director of Casa Fernando Pessoa.

The composition and cover are by Pedro Serpa.

This booklet is a part of Casa Fernando Pessoa's publishing collection.

Did you know that in this set of poems signed by Pessoa himself, most of them are part of the project «Cancioneiro», which means a collection of songs. And Pessoa wrote that "It seems, in principle, that a song is a poem which is made so that it can be sung, and as singing implies rhythmic emotion, the song will be a poem made so that the emotion it contains is translated both by rhythm and by words." This beautifully produced collection of emotional verses makes the perfect gift for the forthcoming festivities.
