FONSECA (Tomás da). DÒR E VIDA: Poemeto. Coimbra. 1900. - FONSECA (Tomás da) DÒR E VIDA: Poemeto . Poemeto. Coimbra: Typ. de Luiz Cardoso, 1900. LII, [4] pp.; 245 mm. Tomás da Fonseca's debut work (Laceiras, Mortágua, 1877; Lisbon, 1968), published when the author was 23 years old and attending Coimbra. It precedes by three years the Gospel of a Seminarian (1903), which would mark the beginning of his extensive polemical and anti-clerical activity. Pain and Life is still part of the tradition of early Romantic-Symbolist poetry, distant from the works that would make the author famous. A debut work, very rare. ⚑ Auto-translated via Google Translate
