Casa Fernando Pessoa
Final apartment and literary museum of the poet who invented over seventy distinct identities.
This guide to Casa Fernando Pessoa in Lisbon centers on the fifteen years the poet lived in this apartment, writing not under pen names but as more than seventy separate heteronyms, each with its own biography and worldview. You'll meet a few of them: Alberto Caeiro, a shepherd-poet; Ricardo Reis, a monarchist physician; Álvaro de Campos, a furious modern engineer who disagreed with Pessoa and with each other. It follows Pessoa to his last diary line, written the night before his death in 1935, and to the wooden trunk where he kept everything he wrote. Stand in the room a moment and consider the question he never stopped asking: how many am I?
