Bøger i Adamastor Series serien

The first and only collection of poems to be published by the Portuguese writer Camilo Pessanha during his lifetime, Clepsydra is the crowning achievement of the Portuguese symbolist movement. Meditating on the inexorable flow of time, Pessanha sets the music of his verses against the babbling water clock that gives the book its title.

Jorge de Sena was an undisputed giant of twentieth-century Portuguese letters. In the essays gathered in this collection, George Monteiro deftly weaves together his readings of Sena's poetry and prose, both literary and critical, with evidence drawn from Sena's biographical archive, focusing in particular on his Brazilian and US years.
