A Centenary Pessoa (Fyfield Books)
Editorial Reviews
George Steiner, The New Yorker
This handsomely illustrated centenary tribute offers representative extracts from Pessoa's prose together with criticism, profiles, and documents. There are critics, notably in France, who hold it to be a key work, an archipelago yet to be discovered. Pessoa is justly listed among the twenty-six central figures in 'the Western canon.'
