ANDRADE (Eugénio de). ADOLESCENTE. Lisboa. 1942. - ANDRADE (Eugénio de) ADOLESCENTE . Poemas de Eugénio de Andrade; Desenhos de Manuel Ribeiro Pavia. Lisboa: ed. autor, 1942. 52, [6] pp.: il.; 230 mm. First edition of the first book published under the literary name Eugénio de Andrade, preceded only by the chapbook Narciso , from 1940, signed with the civil name José Fontinhas. Dedicated to the memory of Fernando Pessoa and illustrated with drawings by Manuel Ribeiro de Pavia, Adolescente belongs to the initial period of his poetic production. The volume was later excluded by the author from the central body of his work, as would happen with Pureza , from 1945; a brief selection of poems from these two books would later be recovered under the title Primeiros Poemas . A significant document of the poet's literary formation and the public beginning of the pseudonym he would retain throughout his career. Very rare. ⚑ Auto-translated via Google Translate
