When Fernando Pessoa died in 1935 he left behind a trunk containing over 25,000 items a vast collection of poems, fragments, letters, journals.

Richard Zenith has drawn on his own intimate knowledge of the original manuscripts to produce a beautiful and captivating translation of one of the greatest works of the twentieth century.
