BOOK TALKS: Fernando Pessoa – ficção, identidade(s) e o homem por trás do mito

There are writers who create works. And there are those who create entire universes within themselves. Fernando Pessoa belongs to the latter.

At the launch of Fernando a Ser Pessoa, by Assunção Garrido, we propose an open conversation about the man behind the myth — between fiction and reality, between identity and fragmentation.

Drawing on a narrative that reconstructs, with historical rigor and literary intensity, Pessoa’s journey — from childhood to the creation of heteronyms, from letters to inevitable solitude — this event invites us to look beyond the work and into the complexity of the man who wrote it.

A book for those who do not want to simply read Pessoa, but to understand him.

A conversation for those seeking to grasp how a genius is formed — and what is lost along the way.
