This review is from: Fernando Pessoa (Pocket Archives Series) (Paperback)

This small little book is a clever idea. The book is a wonderful photographic biography of the great Portuguese poet from the 20th century - Fernando Pessoa. Even if one does not know anything about Pessoa, this book provides a wonderful pictorial view of what his life was. Here, one will find pictures on almost every aspect of the poet's life, from his birth certificate, to family pictures, including pictures of letters, his typewriter, and terrific pictures of Lisbon in the early part of the 20th century.

Antonio Tabucchi introduction gives us a clear and well written explanation of Fernando Pessoa's importance for the literature of the 20th century. I highly recommend this book. This is an excellent introduction to Pessoa.
