The Book Of Disquietude

The Book Of Disquietude or The Book of Disquiet (Livro do Desassossego in Portuguese) is a posthumous and one of the greatest works by Fernando Pessoa. It is signed under the semi-heteronym Bernando Soares. It is a fragmentary book, always being studied by the pessoan critics, and these have several different interpretations about the way the book should be organized.

Interpretations

Teresa Sobral Cunha considers that there are two Books Of Disquietude. According to the expert that organized along with Jacinto do Prado Coelho and Maria Aliete Galhoz the first edition of this book only edited in 1982, there are two authors of this book: Vicente Guedes, in a first phase (in the 10's and the 20's) and the aforementioned Bernardo Soares (late 20's and the 30's).

However, António Quadros considers that the first phase of the book belongs to Pessoa. The second phase, more personal and diary-like, is the one belonging to Bernardo Soares.
