PESSOA (Fernando). CARTAS de Amor de Fernando Pessoa. Lisboa. 1978. - PESSOA (Fernando) CARTAS de Amor de Fernando Pessoa . Organização, posfácio e notas de David Mourão Ferreira, Preâmbulo e estabelecimento do texto de Maria da Graça Queiroz. Lisboa: Edições Ática, 1978. 228 pp.; 200 mm. Edition of the love letters that Fernando Pessoa wrote to Ofélia Queiroz, with organization, afterword and notes by David Mourão-Ferreira and preamble and text establishment by Maria da Graça Queiroz, great-niece of Ofélia Queiroz. The volume brings together forty-eight dated letters and two undated ones, preceded by another letter, written before the start of their courtship and not directly addressed to the recipient, as well as an unpublished account by Ofélia Queiroz herself about how she met the poet, collected by her great-niece. It was the first publication of this correspondence and revealed to the public an unexpectedly tender facet of the poet, in contrast to the intellectual reserve usually associated with his figure; Ofélia's letters would only be published later, in 1996, close to her death. ⚑ Auto-translated via Google Translate
