Ferreira de Castro; Mas... - CASTRO (Ferreira de) MAS ... . Lisboa: Tip. Boente & Silva, 1921. [4], 100 pp.; 195 mm. The first and only edition of Ferreira de Castro's first book published in Portugal, not part of his complete works. The last two pages were perforated by the author, who justified the order with the following words: ”The last pages of this book reach primitiveness: - in their vileness of truth. To those of modesty, they will be blunt. So that they may expatriate them from the work, I ordered them perforated. As for me... Modesty is the tunic of Truth: - I tore that tunic long ago.” (p. 98). EXTREMELY RARE. ! Please note that this translated text was generated by Google. !
