O Ano da Morte de Ricardo Reis
Fernando Pessoa, one of the greatest writers in Portuguese, created an immense parallel world and several heteronyms so as to endure the loneliness of genius. JosĂ© Saramago, 1998 Nobel Laureate in Literature, has a heteronym, Ricardo Reis, return to Portugal after a 16-year exile in Brazil. 1936 is a perilous year with Mussoliniâs fascism, Hitlerâs Nazism, Spainâs Civil War and Salazarâs New State in Portugal. And Fernando Pessoa meets his creation, Reis. Two women, LĂdia and Marcenda, are Reisâ carnal and impossible passions. âLife and Death as oneâ allows for literature and cinema.
