Fernando Pessoa is a great Portuguese poet of the 20th century. He created a unique literary world with more than a hundred synonyms.
Among these synonyms, "Gombos" may be closest to the truth about Pessoa himself: the unbridled spiritual world is just a dream he weaves with poetry and words; in real life, he is an ordinary clerk who can never even pack his suitcase when he goes out.
This book mainly collects short poems by "Gombos", as well as famous long poems such as "Tobacco Shop" and "The Opium Smoker". This is the first Chinese translation of "Gampos". It is hoped that it can present a clearer image of "Gampos" to Chinese readers and provide an entrance to appreciate Pessoa's huge writing world. This book also includes "Remembering My Mentor Caeiro" and "The Anarchist Banker".
Reader comments
It's a good book. I originally saw that the name of the side mission of Collapse of Iron came from here, and I was quite bored by the way. I read the whole book, and it turned out to be a really good book! Recommend
He used multiple aliases to show different perspectives and emotions, allowing me to see the infinite possibilities of poetry. Yang Tiejun's translation is also wonderful, retaining the charm of the original text. Reading this book is like having a spiritual dialogue with Pessoa, which is intoxicating.
