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.

För första gången på över trettio år samlas Fernando Pessoas viktigaste röster Álvaro de Campos, Alberto Caeiro, Ricardo Reis och Bernardo Soares på svenska i en och samma bok. Urvalet rymmer dikter och prosafragment som på ett brett och varierat sätt knyter an till resan och rörelsen - ett återkommande tema i många av Pessoas efterlämnade skrifter.
Samtidigt som hans vuxna liv var begränsat i geografin, stod han ständigt i begrepp att ge sig ut i världen med hjälp av språket och fantasin. Ibland möter vi ett diktjag som blickar mot horisonten från en kaj vid Tejofloden, ibland befinner vi oss på ett fartyg ute till havs, eller ombord på en spårvagn i Lissabon.
Andra texter problematiserar resan och rörelsen, vilket blottlägger spänningen inte bara mellan Pessoas eget liv och hans verk, utan också mellan hans olika författarjag - som vart och ett reser på sitt eget sätt, eller väljer att stanna hemma.
För urval, inledning och tolkningar står författaren och essäisten Henrik Nilsson. En lång rad av dikterna har aldrig tidigare översatts till svenska.

The Book of Disquiet is the Portuguese modernist master Fernando Pessoa’s greatest literary achievement. An “autobiography” or “diary” containing exquisite melancholy observations, aphorisms, and ruminations, this classic work grapples with all the eternal questions. Now, for the first time the texts are presented chronologically, in a complete English edition by master translator Margaret Jull Costa. Most of the texts in The Book of Disquiet are written under the semi-heteronym Bernardo Soares, an assistant bookkeeper. This existential masterpiece was first published in Portuguese in 1982, forty-seven years after Pessoa’s death. A monumental literary event, this exciting, new, complete edition spans Fernando Pessoa’s entire writing life.

The Book of Disquiet is one of the great literary works of the twentieth century. Written over the course of Fernando Pessoa's life, it was first published in 1982, pieced together from the thousands of individual manuscript pages left behind by Pessoa after his death in 1935. Now this fragmentary modernist masterpiece appears in a major new edition that unites Margaret Jull Costa's celebrated translation with the most complete version of the text ever produced. It is presented here, for the first time in English, by order of original composition, and accompanied by facsimiles of the original manuscript.Narrated principally by an assistant bookkeeper named Bernardo Soares - an alias of sorts for Pessoa himself - The Book of Disquiet is 'the autobiobraphy of someone who never existed', a mosaic of dreams, of hope and despair; a hymn to the streets and cafés of 1930s Lisbon, and an extraordinary record of the inner life of one of the century's most important writers. This new edition represents the most complete vision of Pessoa's genius.

Here is the fourth in a series of volumes by Fernando Pessoa’s celebrated “heteronyms”, a coterie of writers that Pessoa created and conceived as distinct personalities, each with a unique literary style. Ricardo Reis was imagined as a melancholic doctor “with a darkish complexion”, a self-taught Hellenist who exiled himself in Brazil because he was a monarchist. In a 1914 letter to Pessoa, the writer Mário Sá-Carneiro described Reis’s odes as “admirable”, “a marvel of impersonality”, praising the way he “achieved a Horatian, classical novelty”. Based on the definitive Tinta-da-China edition, published in Lisbon in 2016, this bilingual collection includes an illuminating introduction by Pessoa scholar Jerónimo Pizarro, facsimiles of original manuscripts and prose excerpts written by Ricardo Reis on art, on life and on the writings of Pessoa’s other heteronyms. Magnificently translated by Margaret Jull Costa and Patricio Ferrari, The Complete Works of Ricardo Reis is a must-have collection by one of Pessoa’s most refined heteronyms.

This is the largest and richest volume of poetry by Pessoa available in English. It includes generous selections from the three poetic alter egos that the Portuguese writer dubbed "heteronyms" - Alberto Caeiro, Ricardo Reis and Alvaro de Campos - and from the vast and varied work he wrote under his own name.

Alberto Caeiro är en av Pessoas heteronymer. Denne anspråkslöse naturpoet i en fåraherdes gestalt var kanske hans favoritidentitet. I ett brev till en bekant skrev Pessoa själv 1914: ”Om det finns någon del av mitt verk som bär uppriktighets prägel så är det Caeiros dikter.” De skrevs alla 1914 och utgör en samling i tre delar: ”Fåraherden”, ”Den Förälskade herden” och ”Strödda dikter”. ”... här finns dikter av stor skönhet som uttrycker glädje, sorg och smärta. Vi möter verkligen den lille mannen under stjärnornas oändlighet som tillsammans med naturen och sina får begrundar Alltet. Då är det som om Pessoa bokstavligen tappar masken och han skriver med hjärtat och vi är en del av denna outgrundliga natur och materia” – Mats Gellerfelt i Svenska Dagbladet

Álvaro de Campos is one of the most influential heteronyms created by Portugal’s great modernist writer Fernando Pessoa. According to Pessoa, Campos was born in Tavira (Algarve) in 1890 and studied mechanical engineering in Glasgow, although he never managed to complete his degree. In his own day, Campos was celebrated—and slandered—for his vociferous poetry imbued with a Whitman-inspired free verse, his praise of the rise of technology and his polemical views that appeared in manifestos, interviews and essays. Here in Margaret Jull Costa and Patricio Ferrari’s translations are the complete poems of Campos. This edition is based on the Portuguese Tinta-da-china edition and includes an illuminating introduction about Campos by the Portuguese editors Jerónimo Pizarro and Antonio Cardiello, facsimiles of original manuscripts and a generous selection of Campos’s prose texts.

The writing of Fernando Pessoa reveals a mind shaken by intense inner suffering. In these poems he adopted four separate personae: Alberto Caeiro, Alvaro de Campos, Ricardo Reis and himself, using them to express 'great swarms of thought and feeling'. While each personae has its own poetic identity, together they convey a sense of ambivalence and consolidate a striving for completeness. Dramatic, lyrical, Christian, pagan, old and modern, Pessoa's poets and poetry contribute to the 'mysterious importance of existence'.

Fernando Pessoa's The Book of Disquiet is a modernist masterwork that has now taken on a similar iconic status to Ulysses, The Trial or In Search of Lost Time. This complete and unabridged edition – published in Penguin Modern Classics - is edited and translated with an introduction by Richard Zenith'The best English-language version we are likely to see for a long time, if ever' - The Guardian *Winner of the Calouste Gulbenkian Translation Prize for Portuguese Translation*'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 final version and letters which Pessoa intended to incorporate into the text. This edition also includes a table of the 'heteronyms' used by Pessoa in his writing.Fernando Pessoa (1888– 1935) was born in Lisbon but went to live in Durban, South Africa, at the age of seven. He returned to Lisbon in 1905. A prolific writer who ascribed much of his work to a variety of personas, or heteronyms, Pessoa published relatively little of his vast output and supported himself by writing letters in English for import– export firms. Although acknowledged as an intellectual and a poet, his literary genius went largely unrecognized until after his death.Richard Zenith lives in Lisbon, where he works as a freelance writer, researcher and translator. He has edited and translated many works by Fernando Pessoa, including A Little Larger Than the Entire Universe – Selected Poems. His Pessoa: An Experimental Life was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in Biography.

Here, in Margaret Jull Costa and Patricio Ferrari’s splendid new translations, are the complete poems of Alberto Caeiro, the imaginary “heteronym” coterie created by Fernando Pessoa, the Portuguese modernist master. Pessoa conceived Caeiro around 1914 and may have named him loosely after his friend, the poet Mário de Sa-Cárrneiro. What followed was a collection of some of Fernando Pessoa’s greatest poems, grouped under the titles The Keeper of Sheep, The Shepherd in Love, and Uncollected Poems. This imaginary author was a shepherd who spent most of his life in the countryside, had almost no education, and was ignorant of most literature; yet he (Pessoa) wrote some of the most beautiful and profound poems in Portuguese literature. This edition of The Complete Works of Alberto Caeiro is based on the magnificent Portuguese Tinta-da-China edition, published in Lisbon in 2016, and contains an illuminating introduction by the Portuguese editors Jerónimo Pizarro and Patricio Ferrari, some facsimiles of the original Portuguese texts, and prose excerpts about Caeiro and his work written by Fernando Pessoa well as his other heteronyms Álvaro de Campos and Ricardo Reis, and other fictitious authors such as Antonio Mora and I. I. Crosse.

"After looking for him in the poems, we search for him in the prose. The pursuit of the Other in Pessoa's work is never-ending," writes Edwin Honig. Essential to understanding the great Portuguese poet are the essays written about (and by) his heteronyms--Alberto Caeiro, Ricardo Reis, and Alvaro de Campos--the several pseudonyms under which he wrote an extraordinary body of poetry. In Always Astonished, Pessoa and his several selves debate and discuss one another's work, revealing how Portuguese modernism was shaped. Fernando Pessoa is one of the great voices of twentieth-century literature, and these manifestos, letters, journal notes, and critical essays range through aesthetics, lyric poetry, dramatic and visual arts, and the psychology of the artist. He gives us, too, a singularly heterodox political position in his strange work of fiction, The Anarchist Banker. "Eloquent, volatile and obsessed with life--and death--[Pessoa is one of the] modernist giants in whose shadow we live and who made our century one of the extraordinary richness."--The New York Times "Only a few years ago Fernando Pessoa was all but invisible in English.Now this outsider's outsider looms as the latest icon of modern poetry. Eugenio Lisboa devised A Centenary Pessoa in 1995, a lavish miscellany of poems, essays, biography, photographs, even paintings he inspired. Edwin Honig and Susan M. Brown reissued Poems of Fernando Pessoa, along with Honig's Always Astonished, a selected prose."-Robert Polito, BOMB Magazine Fernando Pessoa is Portugal's most important contemporary poet. He wrote under several identities, which he called heteronyms: Albet Caeiro, Alvaro de Campos, Ricardo Reis, and Bernardo Soares. He wrote fine poetry under his own name as well, and each of his "voices" is completely different in subject, temperament, and style.

"At last, at last, at last, Pessoa again! More Pessoa! One of the very great poets of the twentieth century, again and more! And one of the fascinating figures of all literature, with his manifold identities, his amazing audacities, his brilliance and his shyness. I think I have under control the reluctance I feel in having to share Pessoa with the public he should have had all along in America: until now, only the poets, so far as I can tell, have even heard of him, and delighted and exulted in him. He is, in some ways, the poet of modernism, the only one willing to fracture himself into the parcels of action, anguish, and nostalgia which are the grounds of our actual situation." --C. K. Williams "Pessoa is one of the great originals (a fact rendered more striking by his writing as several distinct personalities) of the European poetry of the first part of this century, and has been one of the last poets of comparable stature, in the European languages, to become known in English.Edwin Honig's translations of Spanish and Portuguese poetry have been known to anyone who cares about either, since his work on Lorca in the forties, and his Selected Poems of Pessoa (1971) was a welcome step toward a long-awaited larger colection." -- W. S. Merwin "Fernando Pessoa is the least known of the masters of the twentieth-century poetry. From his heteronymic passion he produced, if that is the word, two of our greatest poets, Alberto Caeiro and Alvaro de Campos, and a third, Ricardo Reis, who isn't bad. Pessoa is the exemplary poet of the self as other, of the poem as testament to unreality, proclamation of nothingness, occasion for expectancy. In Edwin Honig's and Susan Brown's superb translations, Pessoa and his "others" live with miraculous style and vitality." --Mark Strand Fernando Pessoa is Portugal's most important contemporary poet. He wrote under several identities, which he called heteronyms: Albet Caeiro, Alvaro de Campos, Ricardo Reis, and Bernardo Soares. He wrote fine poetry under his own name as well, and each of his "voices" is completely different in subject, temperament, and style.This volume brings back into print the comprehensive collection of his work published by Ecco Press in 1986.

A temporary move to Toronto in the winter of 2000, a twisted ankle, an empty house -- all inspired Moure as she read Alberto Caeiro/Fernando Pessoa's classic long poem O Guardador de Rebanhos. For fun, she started to translate, altering tones and vocabularies. From the Portuguese countryside and roaming sheep of 1914, a 21st century Toronto emerged, its neighbourhoods still echoing the 1950s, their dips and hollows, hordes of wild cats, paved creeks. Her poem became a translation, a transcreation, the jubilant and irrepressible vigil of a fervent person. "Suddenly," says Moure impishly, "I had found my master."Caeiro's sheep were his thoughts and his thoughts, he claimed, were all sensations. Moure's sheep are stray cats and from her place in Caeiro's poetry, she creates a woman alive in an urban world where the rural has not vanished, where the archaic suffuses us even when we do not beckon it, and yet the present tense floods us fully.

Publicada pela Mafra Editions, uma casa editorial sediada na cidade de Joinville (SC), a obra ''O Banqueiro Anarquista'' representa um marco na carreira de Fernando Pessoa. Fernando António Nogueira Pessoa, nascido em 13 de junho de 1888, Lisboa, Porto, e falecido em 30 de novembro de 1935, Lisboa, foi um dos maiores poetas portugueses, cuja obra modernista deu à literatura portuguesa significado europeu. Aos sete anos Pessoa viveu em Durban, onde o seu padrasto foi cônsul de Portugal. Ele se tornou um leitor e escritor fluente de inglês. Na esperança de se tornar um grande poeta nessa língua, Pessoa escreveu os primeiros versos em inglês. A fama chegou a Pessoa postumamente, quando seus poemas extraordinariamente criativos atraíram a atenção em Portugal e no Brasil na década de 1940. Sua obra é notável pela inovação do que Pessoa chamou de heterônimos, ou personas alternativas. Em vez de alteregos, identidades alternativas que servem como contrapartes ou defesas para as próprias ideias de um autor, os heterônimos de Pessoa foram apresentados como autores distintos, cada um dos quais diferia dos outros em termos de estilo poético, estético, filosofia, personalidade e até mesmo gênero e idioma, pois Pessoa escreveu em português, inglês e francês. Sob os seus nomes publicaram-se não só poemas, mas também críticas à poesia de alguns dos outros, ensaios sobre o estado da literatura portuguesa e escritos filosóficos.Embora também tenha publicado poemas com o seu próprio nome, Pessoa empregou mais de 70 heterônimos, alguns dos quais só foram descobertos no início do século XXI. Quatro heterônimos particulares se destacam. Três foram “mestres” da poética moderna e participaram de um diálogo vivo por meio de publicações em revistas críticas sobre a obra uns dos outros: Alberto Caeiro, cujos poemas celebram o processo criativo da natureza; Álvaro de Campos, cuja obra se assemelha tanto em estilo quanto em substância à obra do poeta americano Walt Whitman; e Ricardo Reis, um classicista grego e romano preocupado com o destino. Outro heterônimo, Bernardo Soares, foi o conceituado autor do Livro do desassossego, uma obra em forma de diário de fragmentos poéticos que Pessoa trabalhou nas duas últimas décadas de sua vida e que ficou inacabada com sua morte. Foram publicados juntos pela primeira vez em 1982 e atraiu a atenção mundial; uma tradução completa em inglês apareceu em 2001.
