Enigma Pessoa
T1776251687
In 1932, aged and in need, the great Portuguese writer Fernando Pessoa applies to a job as a small museum library curator in Cascais, not far from his beloved Lisbon. As he answers the questionnaire, the poet recollects certain scenes and situations, both real and imaginary of his life and works, zealously kept in his mythical "trunk full of people". From this illuminating episode, Enigma Pessoa poetically explores the fascinating figure of the author of heteronymy, through a carefully selected collection of literary and biographical materials, including poems, texts in prose and love letters as well asimages from his private life and the artistic movements of his time. His application for the job was rejected and barely three years later, Pessoa died, sick and lonely, without having reached the literary glory and the deep admiration his endearing figure and extraordinary oeuvre so deservedly enjoy today.
