Pessoa conceived Caeiro around 1914 and may have named him loosely after his friend, the poet Mário de Sá-Carneiro. What followed was a collection of some of Fernando Pessoa’s greatest poems, grouped under the titles \u003cem\u003eThe Keeper of Sheep\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eThe Shepherd in Love\u003c\/em\u003e, and \u003cem\u003eUncollected Poems\u003c\/em\u003e. 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 \u003cem\u003eThe Complete Works of Alberto Caeiro\u003c\/em\u003e is based on the magnificent Portuguese Tinta-da-china critical edition, published in Lisbon in 2016, and contains an illuminating introduction by the 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 as well as his heteronyms Álvaro de Campos and Ricardo Reis, and other fictitious authors such as Antonio Mora and I.

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.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Boekhandel Perdu","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46916962386250,"sku":"","price":22.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/2782\/9974\/files\/5709968713aa1e0720aac4593bfd95c79f47b4c0-1650x2550.jpg?v=1701094506"},{"product_id":"gedichten-1","title":"Gedichten","description":"\u003cp\u003eFernando Pessoa \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDe Portugees Fernando Pessoa geldt als een van de allergrootste dichters.
