Fernando Pessoa

Fernando Pessoa was a Portuguese poet, writer and literary genius who is regarded as one of the greatest literary figures of the twentieth century. He created dozens of literary alter egos, or heteronyms, each with distinct styles and philosophies. The Book of Disquiet, available as an audiobook and book, is his masterwork — a fragmentary, philosophical meditation on existence, written under the heteronym Bernardo Soares. Pessoa's profound, melancholic prose continues to fascinate readers and listeners worldwide.
