Synopsis
Fernando Pessoa adopted four separate personae in his writing: Albert Caeiro, Alvaro de Campos, Ricardo Reis and himself. While each of his personae have a separate poetic identity, together they convey a sense of ambivalence and consolidate a striving for completeness.

About the Author
Fernando Pessoa (1888-1935) was born in Lisbon and brought up in Durban, South Africa. He returned to Lisbon in 1905. A prolific writer, ascribing his work to a variety of personas or heteronyms, Pessoa published little in his lifetime and supported himself by working as a commercial translator. Although acknowledged as an intellectual and a poet, his literary genius went largely unrecognised until after his death.
