Tabacaria, Fernando Pessoa

Ilustration, editorial design of “Tabacaria”, written by Fernando Pessoa. "Tabacaria" is a long and complex poem in which the heteronym Alvaro de Campos raises the central questions that govern his poetry . The work is among Fernando Pessoa's most famous poetic creations. Written in 1928 (and published in 1933 in the magazine Presença), the verses are a record of the times in which he lived, of the rapid modernity and the feeling of uncertainty of the subject who felt lost in the face of so many changes. The feeling of emptiness, loneliness, and misunderstanding are the poem's guiding lines."
