Translated by Tõnu Õnnepalu

 Alvaro de Campos was a ship-engineer in Glasgow, who wrote the best part of a poetry of Fernando Pessoa (1888-1936)… It is can be said.
But just in Campos there is a compilation af our entire uneasy 20th century: a clarity in unknown, a hope in doubt, an irony in belief, a yearning for quiet clock-ticking of long-lost childhood´s missing peacefulness.

A collection presents the best part of poetry of Pessoa´s last years, in what a style and a view of life of a famous Lissaboner seem to be somehow crystallized. In appendix there is an overview of Fernando Pessoa´s life and works of his many „doubles“ by translator Tõnu Õnnepalu.
