About this ebook
"A crença nos deuses é uma crença especial, que só quem verdadeiramente a tem, hoje, verdadeiramente a compreende. Não há intuição que sirva para entrar no espírito dessas épocas idas. Nada em nós hoje tem o poder de ter os métodos espirituais de compreender o paganismo. A crença nos deuses é uma fé duma espécie inteiramente diferente da fé cristã. Não é outro grau de fé: é outra espécie inteiramente. Ao contrário do que se julga, não é uma fé menos intensa; a seu modo, é-o mais. É uma fé que nos cinja de mais perto, que a todo o momento temos presente, porque os deuses e as presenças quase-divinas habitam todas as coisas visivelmente, não se escondem por detrás delas. A fé do pagão é outra crença, outra moral e outra visão, que ninguém que tenha sido sequer educado num cristianismo tíbio pode chegar a conceber. Na fé pagã não há entrega do indivíduo, não há moral, não há sentimento moral propriamente dito, que perturbe o puro sentimento da fé."
About the author
Fernando Pessoa, 1888 - 1935 Portuguese poet Fernando Pessoa was born in Lisbon. His father died when he was young and his mother married the Portuguese consul in Durban in South Africa where they lived from 1896 to 1951. During this time, Pessoa became fluent in English and was educated in Cape Town and Lisbon. Pessoa was employed as a business correspondent and also as a commercial translator. The bulk of his work was published in literary magazines, especially in his own Athena. His first book, "Antinous," appeared in 1918 and was followed by two other collection of poems, all written in English. In 1933, he published "Mensagem" his first book in Portuguese. "Livro Do Dessossogego (The Book of Disquiet)" the "factless autobiography" was written under the name of Bernardo Soares and appeared for the first time in 1982, almost fifty years after his death. After the republican revolution, in 1910, and consequent patriotic atmosphera, Pessoa created an alter ego, a heteronym, named Álvaro de Campos, supposedly a Portuguese naval engineer, born in Tavira and graduated in Glasgow. Translator Richard Zenith notes that Pessoa eventually established at least seventy-two heteronyms. According to Pessoa himself, there were three main heteronyms: Alberto Caeiro, Álvaro de Campos and Ricardo Reis. The heteronyms possess distinct biographies, temperaments, philosophies, appearances and writing styles. Pessoa died on November 30, 1935 in Lisbon. Other writings that were published posthumously and translated into several languages include "Poesias de Fernando Pessoa" (1942), Poesias de Alvaro de Campos" (1944), Poemas de Alberto Caeiro" (1946), and "Odes de Ricardo Reis" (1946).
