CARNEIRO (Mário de Sá). CARTAS a Fernando Pessoa. Lisboa. 1958. - CARNEIRO (Mário de Sá) CARTAS a Fernando Pessoa . Lisboa: Ática, 1958. 2 v.; 195 mm. (Obras Completas de Mário de Sá Carneiro, 3) First edition, in 2 volumes, with an opening text by Urbano Tavares Rodrigues, included in the ”Complete Works of Mário de Sá-Carneiro” published by Ática. The Letters to Fernando Pessoa bring together the correspondence sent by Sá-Carneiro to Pessoa between 1912 and 1916 – the only surviving letters of the pair, since Pessoa's letters to Sá-Carneiro were lost following the latter's suicide in Paris – brought to light thanks to the donation of Colonel Caetano Dias, Pessoa's brother-in-law, forty-two years after the poet's death. They constitute one of the fundamental documents for understanding the heroic period of Portuguese modernism and the Orpheu magazine, and function as a true inner autobiography of the author of Dispersão , written with the same rhetorical and formal care as his poetic and fictional work. Complete set. Highly regarded. ⚑ Auto-translated via Google Translate
