【Editor's Recommendation】

Reading Caeiro is a crucial gateway to understanding Pessoa. Pessoa, through his captivating "heteronym writing," constructed a mysterious and unique literary universe. Among these many heteronyms, Caeiro is revered as a master. He is an "objective poet" and a "nature poet," emphasizing a sensory grasp of nature, opposing intellectual understanding.

【Content Introduction】

A Portuguese national treasure and a central figure of European modernism, Pessoa constructed a rich and mysterious universe through his captivating "pseudonymous writing." Throughout his life, he created numerous pseudonyms, each with a distinct profession and personality. Alberto Caeiro is the most important. A "nature poet" and "objective poet," Caeiro, revered as a master by his fellow pseudonyms, spent most of his life on a farm. An orphan with blond hair and blue eyes, he only completed elementary school.

This book collects all of Caeiro's poems, including "The Shepherd," "The Shepherd in Love," and "The Shepherd Continued." Caeiro's poetry seeks to be free of philosophical thought, simply observing things realistically. He emphasizes grasping nature through feeling, opposing intellectual cognition: "I see, and things exist. I think, and only I exist."
