Acerca de este libro electrónico
In "35 Sonnets," Fernando Pessoa delves into the intricacies of love, longing, and existential reflection through a masterful exploration of the sonnet form. Balancing tradition with innovation, Pessoa's work embodies a lyrical depth characteristic of modernist literature, while simultaneously paying homage to classical influences. The poems navigate themes such as identity and the human condition, often interspersing rich imagery with a contemplative tone, capturing the essence of Pessoan existentialism, where the paradoxes of the self are meticulously examined. Fernando Pessoa, one of Portugal's most seminal literary figures, produced this collection amidst his struggles with identity, often writing under various heteronyms that elucidated different facets of his psyche. This fragmentation reflects not only his personal experiences but also the broader societal turbulence of early 20th-century Portugal. His unique approach to poetry, particularly evident in this work, stemmed from his deep philosophical inquiries, making Pessoa a pivotal figure in the modernist movement. "35 Sonnets" is an essential read for those seeking profound insights into the complexities of love and self-understanding. It invites readers to engage with the poetic exploration of existence, making it a remarkable addition to the library of anyone interested in modernist poetry or the human experience.
Acerca del autor
Fernando Pessoa (1888-1935) was a preeminent Portuguese poet, writer, literary critic, translator, publisher, and philosopher, recognized as one of the most significant literary figures of the 20th century. Born in Lisbon, Pessoa's genius manifested itself through various 'heteronyms' – alternative authorial personas with distinct biographies, temperaments, philosophies, and writing styles. This technique allowed him to explore different facets of his intellect and creativity, giving rise to a diverse and complex oeuvre. His work is often characterized by its existential themes, metaphysical inquiries, and a lyrical exploration of anguish and identity. Among his most celebrated English-written works sits '35 Sonnets', first published in 1918, which showcases the rich introspective landscape and linguistic precision Pessoa was known for. These sonnets, written under his own name rather than a heteronym, highlight his mastery in the English language and illustrate a deep influence of the English literary canon, particularly that of Shakespeare and the metaphysical poets. Pessoa's profound influence on the Portuguese literary scene is evident in works such as 'The Book of Disquiet' and 'Message,' but it is in '35 Sonnets' that we witness the interplay of his bilingual prowess and his existential ruminations. His legacy continues to be celebrated worldwide for its intellectual depth and its innovation in style and form.
