Fernando Pessoa


Fernando Pessoa, born Fernando Antnio Nogueira Pessa , was a Portuguese poet, writer, literary critic, translator, publisher and philosopher, described as one of the most significant literary figures of the 20th century and one of the greatest poets in the Portuguese language. He also wrote in and translated from English and French.

He looked about thirty, thin, rather above average height, exaggeratedly bent over when seated but less so when he stood up, dressed with a certain negligence, which was not entirely negligence. On his pale, uninteresting face an air of suffering did not stir interest, although it was difficult to define what kind of suffering that air it seemed to suggest several kinds privation, anguish, and a suffering born from the indifference of having suffered a great deal.
