Abstract
Fernando Pessoa (1888–1935) wrote using a variety of heteronyms and is widely recognized as the most important Portuguese poet of the twentieth century. After a belated reception he can now be seen as a key figure in European modernism and in world literature. His fragmentary Book of Disquiet has been especially influential across various media. Pessoa's writing, directed to the future, is indicative of a modernity that is still in the process of coming.
