QUEIROZ (Carlos). DESAPARECIDO. Lisboa. 1935. - QUEIROZ (Carlos) DESAPARECIDO . Lisboa: ed.autor, 1935. 102, [6] pp., 1 ret.: il.; 175 mm. ”Desaparecido” is the debut book by Carlos Queiroz (Lisbon, 1907; Paris, 1949), a poet of the second phase of Portuguese modernism and one of the most frequent contributors to the Presença movement , where he played a unique role as a bridge between the Orpheu generation and the Presença circle. His personal and literary connection with Fernando Pessoa—he was the nephew of Ofélia Queirós—decisively marked his trajectory. That same year, the work was awarded the Antero de Quental Prize by the National Propaganda Secretariat. Fernando Pessoa, who would die at the end of that same year, wrote a remarkable review of the book, published in the Revista de Portugal , which constitutes one of the most significant documents of the reception of Desaparecido . The central theme of the collection—nostalgia for childhood, the craft of poetry, the condition of the subject who avoids the commonplace—is treated in a refined style that combines classical, romantic, and modern elements, with the ironic humor characteristic of the author. First edition, self-published. Limited edition of only 500 numbered copies. Highly sought after. ⚑ Auto-translated via Google Translate ¶ Almeida Marques, 1744
