panic record

Tied with Neruda as "the most representative poet of the 20th century"

Portuguese national treasure writer,

The core of European modernism,

Representative figure of Western literature in the 1980s .

In a faux diary style essay, Fernando Pessoa incarnates himself into countless "idiosyncrasies" to crush his own heart, explore the countless possible aspects of the ordinary self, go deep into his heart, and reach the forbidden zone of the lost soul.

"The Record of Panic" is one of Fernando Pessoa's masterpieces. The contents of the book have been lost for a long time, and most of them are in the form of "fake diary". Fifty years after Pessoa's death, it was finally collected and compiled by many research experts. . This book is the most complete Chinese translation so far, and will also open a door for readers to have a glimpse of his vast philosophical universe.

Pessoa rarely used his real name in his prose and poetry, but wrote as a "heteronym". In other works, these "idioms" even have their own biographies, personalities, political views and literary pursuits. Pessoa shuttled between dozens of "idiosyncrasies" and constantly changed the stance of the essay. Among them, "Bernardo Soares" who appeared as an accounting assistant was the closest to him, and to a considerable extent. The book presents Pessoa's profound understanding of life, destiny, and the world, as well as the self-understanding of a soul on the verge of collapse.

The "panic" in "The Record of Panic" represents always being in a state of hesitation, uncertainty and transition.

He is an anarchist of the soul, examining the so-called "existence" and "reality" from various angles.

George Steiner: "The Book of Panic casts a spell on Lisbon, making it like Joyce's Dublin or Kafka's Prague ."

Zhou Fenling: "Pessoa's "The Record of Panic" is what I re-read most often. It is just a notebook, but it writes about his dreams and heart, and that although he had nothing, he still longed to love and longed for a kind of greatness. What he wrote With everything he had , he was still grateful for life and even shed tears for it . This has always attracted me."
