Fernando Pessoa is the most important Portuguese writer. Born in Lisbon in 1888, he lived mostly in the Lusitanian capital and had even resided in South Africa during his childhood. At 47, he had written thousands of pages of the best literature, making him one of the greatest contemporary poets. In his youth, he lived in the Carmo zone, a few meters from the Lisboa Pessoa Hotel, which is dedicated in his honor.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

A great work of poetry is Mensagem, the only book in Portuguese published in life, a set of poems dedicated to Portugal\u2019s heroes and myths in a universalist projection that sees a future of tremendous culture for Portugal and for humanity. Poetry was Pessoa’s great love. He kept countless texts in a legendary chest \u2013 Pessoa’s estate \u2013, full of papers, many still to be published.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t The\u00a0Lisboa Pessoa Hotel\u00a0is located in the same address of the former \u201cTipografia do Com\u00e9rcio\u201d, which in 1915 printed the two copies of\u00a0Orpheu\u00a0\u2013 Revista Trimestral de Literatura(Orpheu \u2013 Quarterly Literary Magazine), probably the most important periodic publication of the Portuguese contemporary culture.
