Fernando Pessoa
As a young man, Fernando Pessoa wrote ‘be plural like the universe.’ Staying true to this, he went on to invent more than one hundred fictional alter-egos, which he called heteronyms. This biography, probing Pessoa’s experience and imagination of reality, navigates the poet’s early days in Lisbon and South Africa, reveals a philosopher-poet and pioneer of Portuguese modernism, and delves into the birth of Pessoa’s heteronymic universe. Bartholomew Ryan traverses Pessoa’s writings on evolving radical politics and his messianic dream of an empire of poets, his ventures into esoteric realms and his expertise in astrology. The book unravels Pessoa’s real and imaginary relationships, and explores his unfinished prose masterpiece, The Book of Disquiet. This is a compelling, timely exploration of Pessoa’s profound and innovative ideas, including his revolutionary concepts of identity and self-multiplicity.

Fernando Pessoa
A Critical Introduction proposes a new didactic and dynamic way of reading the great twentieth-century poet Fernando Pessoa (1888-1935). The aim is to present a holistic vision of this complex poet, promoting his literary geniality in order to better understand his orthonymic-heteronymic poetry. A guiding motif is Pessoa's own Be as plural as the universe. In leading the reader through the poet's published literary work, Jerónimo Pizarro allows an intimate perspective, alongside an academic one, to better understand the workings of Pessoa's mind and life. Discussion centres on the dilemmas an editor faces when editing posthumously. A prime question revolves around the genesis of Pessoa's heteronyms and orthonyms. Understanding is revealed by a critical perspective on the unity that exists in all of Pessoa's literary work. Interpretations of the poems; explanation of the profundity of The Book of Disquiet; and his isms of Paulism, Caeirism, Intersectionism and Cessationism, are

The Book of Disquiet
A modernist masterwork that has now taken on a similar iconic status to Ulysses, The Trial or In Search of Lost Time, Fernando Pessoa's The Book of Disquiet is edited and translated with an introduction by Richard Zenith in Penguin Modern Classics. 'Fernando Pessoa, strictly speaking, doesn't exist,' - so claimed Alvaro de Campos, one of the 'heteronyms', fully-realised substitute personalities invented by Fernando Pessoa to spare himself the trouble of living real life. In this extraordinary book, the putative 'factless autobiography' of an accountant named Bernardo Soares, Fernando Pessoa explores and dismantles the nature of memory, identity, time and narrative, creating one of the greatest - but also the strangest - modernist texts. An assembly of sometimes-linked fragments, The Book of Disquiet is a mesmerising, haunting 'novel' without parallel in any other culture. This edition includes notes on the reconstruction of the text, appendices containing material omitted from the

The Selected Prose of Fernando Pessoa
The Washington Post Book World has written that Fernando Pessoa was 'Portugal's greatest writer of the twentieth century though] some critics would even leave off that last qualifying phrase' and 'one of the most appealing European modernists, equal in command and range to his contemporaries Rilke and Mandelstam.' The Selected Prose of Fernando Pessoa, a Los Angeles Times Best Book of 2001, spans playful philosophical inquiry, Platonic dialogue, and bitter intellectual scrapping between Pessoa and his many literary alter egos ('heteronyms'). The heteronyms launch movements and write manifestos, and one of them attempts to break up Pessoa's only known romantic relationship. Also included is a generous selection from Pessoa's masterpiece, The Book of Disquiet, freshly translated by Richard Zenith from newly discovered materials. The Selected Prose of Fernando Pessoa is an important record of a crucial part of the literary canon.

Fernando
Since its release in 1976, ABBA’s song “Fernando” has been loved by fans around the globe, both for its sing-along chorus and its revolutionary spirit. In Fernando, Kay Dickinson takes readers from Sweden and Chile to Australia and Poland, tracing the complicated ways the song could express support with anti-capitalist and Third World liberation struggles while remaining an unrepentant commodity. A song about freedom fighters was unlikely to become a pop mega-hit, yet, as Dickinson demonstrates, ABBA’s lucrative, longstanding appeal rests on their ability to bridge contradictions within everyday life. Five decades later, “Fernando’s” rousing calls for freedom continue to resonate with gay liberation movements and other social struggles, demonstrating how a song can both be revolutionary and an envoy for global capital.

Orons bok, E-bok
Ett av 1900-talets stora litterära mästerverk - för första gången i sin helhet på svenska Orons bok är modernisten Fernando Pessoas mest kända verk och en av 1900-talets stora litterära bedrifter. Detta postuma mästerverk, ett porträtt av staden Lissabon och dess porträttör, består av hundratals textfragment som till formen rör sig mellan dagbok, prosalyrik och korta berättelser. Här finns melankoliska betraktelser, skildringar av själstillstånd och drömmerier, såväl som reflektioner över kärlek, moral och kunskap. Orons bok publicerades första gången på portugisiska 1982, fyrtiosju år efter Pessoas död. Denna nya svenska utgåva innehåller många aldrig tidigare översatta texter, och verket som helhet presenteras här för första gången i kronologisk ordning, i översättning och med en kommentar av Örjan Sjögren, samt med ett förord av den portugisiska utgåvans redaktör. FERNANDO PESSOA [1888-1935] var en portugisisk poet och litteraturkritiker, och en av 1900-talets mest betydande litterära personligheter. Han skrev inte bara under eget namn utan arbetade med en rad olika så kallade heteronymer, för att ge röst åt olika författartemperament. Vid Pessoas död hade endast en mycket liten del av hans litterära produktion givits ut och hans stora ryktbarhet vilar framför allt på den omfattande postuma utgivningen.
