About the writer...

Fernando António Nogueira Pessoa was a philosopher, literary critic, playwright and one of the most famous Portuguese poets.

He was also passionate about astrology, often making the birth charts of his friends and acquaintances.

Considered the Portuguese poet with the greatest international fame, Pessoa began writing poems as a child, at the age of seven. He wrote in both Portuguese and English. His education in South Africa allowed him to become more familiar with the English language. Except for Message, all his works published during his lifetime are in the English language. His bibliography is so extensive that the knowledge of his works is still ongoing.

As a poet, he wrote under different personalities or heteronyms, among them Ricardo Reis, Álvaro de Campos, and Alberto Caeiro. These “writers” have their own biography, a particular style, and even astrological charts.

He died at the age of 47, his last words being written in pencil, in English, on the eve of his death: I do not know what tomorrow will bring. In commemoration of the centenary of his birth, his body was transferred to the Jerónimos’ Monastery, in Lisbon.

Pessoa received several tributes after his death, such as the University of Fernando Pessoa, the Pessoa Prize, the Casa Fernando Pessoa museum and the art exhibition “Homenagem a Fernando Pessoa”. Literary critic Harold Bloom called the poet a "Whitman reborn", a reference to the famous American poet Walt Whitman.

Some of his main works:

Livro do desassosego (1914);
O guardador de rebanhos (1914);
O banqueiro anarquista (1922);
Odes (1933);
Mensagem (1934).

“Everything is worth it if the soul is not small.”  Mensagem, Fernando Pessoa
