Ricardo Reis says: "Alberto Caeiro da Silva was born in Lisbon on April 16, 1889, and died of tuberculosis in the same city on (. . .), 1915. He spent nearly all his life in a village in Ribatejo, and only returned to the city of his birth in his final months. In Ribatejo he wrote nearly all his poems . . ." Fernando Pessoa was educated in English in Durban, as the stepson of a Portuguese diplomat, and was completely bilingual. During his lifetime he was to publish only one collection of his poems in Portuguese, although many appeared in literary journals, under a number of alter egos, or heteronyms, chief amongst them Alberto Caeiro, Alvaro de Campos and Ricardo Reis. At his death in 1935, Pessoa left more than 20,000 manuscripts - poetry and prose - in a large trunk, the contents of which are still being transcribed and deciphered to this day. He is the greatest modern poet in the Portuguese language, but always considered himself a poet in the English tradition. 890232 1980 The Collected Poems of Alberto Caeiro total:100|5:47|4:30|3:21|2:1|1:1| 100 421 119 1 5 0 false false Mon Sep 22 16:07:22 -0700 2008 Mon Sep 22 16:07:37 -0700 2008 5 0 false false Sat Nov 14 18:17:46 -0800 2009 Sat Nov 14 18:17:46 -0800 2009 5 0 false false Sat Oct 31 19:13:47 -0700 2009 Sat Oct 31 19:13:47 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Fri Oct 16 18:26:39 -0700 2009 Fri Oct 16 18:26:39 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu Oct 15 17:45:58 -0700 2009 Thu Oct 15 17:46:05 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Sat Oct 10 10:41:13 -0700 2009 Sat Oct 10 10:41:13 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed Oct 07 19:39:03 -0700 2009 Wed Oct 07 19:39:03 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Tue Sep 29 11:55:36 -0700 2009 Tue Sep 29 11:55:36 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Tue Sep 29 05:41:36 -0700 2009 Tue Sep 29 05:41:36 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Fri Sep 25 11:39:19 -0700 2009 Fri Sep 25 11:39:19 -0700 2009 1 0 false false Wed Sep 16 16:56:28 -0700 2009 Wed Sep 16 16:56:28 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Fri Sep 04 19:28:07 -0700 2009 Fri Sep 04 19:28:07 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Fri Sep 04 10:48:45 -0700 2009 Fri Sep 04 10:48:45 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Sat Aug 29 22:44:26 -0700 2009 Sat Aug 29 22:44:26 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue Aug 25 14:45:20 -0700 2009 Tue Aug 25 14:45:20 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Fri Aug 21 05:02:25 -0700 2009 Fri Aug 21 05:02:25 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Sun Aug 09 12:39:24 -0700 2009 Sun Aug 09 12:39:24 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Thu Aug 06 12:09:17 -0700 2009 Thu Aug 06 12:09:17 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Sat Aug 01 16:49:51 -0700 2009 Sat Aug 01 16:49:55 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri Jul 31 16:06:22 -0700 2009 Fri Jul 31 16:06:22 -0700 2009 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=905084
