Imagine a rose from the future

★★★
A weary life cannot be without poetry. My heart is slightly larger than the universe. This volume of poetry, written by Portuguese national treasure Pessoa under the pseudonym "Gombos," is recommended by poets Chen Li, Huang Canran, Lan Lan, and Wang Ao. ★★★
【Content Introduction】
Fernando Pessoa is a great Portuguese poet of the 20th century. He created a unique literary world with more than a hundred pseudonyms.
Among these aliases, "Campos" may be closest to the truth about Pessoa himself: his flamboyant and unrestrained spiritual world is just a dream he wove with poetry and words; in real life, he is an ordinary clerk who can never even pack his suitcase when he goes out.
This book primarily collects Campos's short poems, as well as his renowned longer poems, such as "The Tobacco Shop" and "The Opium Eater." This is the first Chinese translation of Campos's work, and we hope to present a clearer image of Campos to Chinese readers, providing a gateway to the vast world of Pessoa's writing. Also included are "Memories of My Mentor Caeiro" and "The Anarchist Banker."
【Editor's Recommendation】
Pessoa single-handedly created a rich and complex system of parallel literary worlds. He is a cosmologist among poets and a prophet among writers, and readers in the 21st century can understand him better.
【Celebrity Reviews】
All of Pessoa's work is a search for a lost identity.
— Nobel Prize winner Pas Pessoa is Whitman reincarnated, but it is Whitman who renamed “self,” “true self,” and “my soul,” and he wrote wonderful poems about all three.
—Harold Bloom, famous literary critic
