This book was published in 1937 by Edições Presença, 21 years after Mário de Sá Carneiro´s death. Estimate €5,000-7,000 Sá-Carneiro (1890-1916), poet, novelist, was born in a rich family with strong military traditions. After his mother´s death, when he was two years old, he was raised by his grand-parents. He began writing poems at the age of twelve. In 1911, he left for Coimbra, where he entered to law school, but he never completed the first year. In Coimbra he met Fernando Pessoa, who soon became his closest friend. After leaving Coimbra Sá Carneiro went to Paris to study at the Sorbonne. It was in Paris that he met the Portuguese painter “Santa-Ritha Pintor”. Along with Fernando Pessoa and Almada Negreiros, he wrote for Orpheu, a journal of poetry and artistic prose influenced by the European AvantGardes. The journal caused a scandal in Portuguese society because of its futuristic ideas. Only two issues of the magazine were published. A third one was conceived, but never published due to the controversy surrounding the magazine. Today, Orpheu is known for introducing modernism in Portugal. Suffering from depression, Sá Carneiro committed suicide in Paris at the age of 26. We wrote to Fernando Pessoa before his suicide “Não me perdi por ninguém: perdi-me por mim, mas fiel aos meus versos.” His literary influences include Edgar Allan Poe, Oscar Wilde, Charles Baudelaire, Stéphane Mallarmé, Fyodor Dostoevsky, Cesário Verde and António Nobre. Author of: Dispersão (1914, poetry); A Confissão de Lúcio (1914, novel); Indicios de Oiro (1937, poetry, posthumous). [Lot´s provenance: from the estates of Fernando Pessoa´s relatives].
