Pessoa, Fernando. 2025. Livro do Desassossego: antologia essencial. (Sel. e introd. Diego Giménez ; il. Marta Nunes ; pref. João Costa). 1ª ed. Lisboa: Shantarin. ISBN 978-989-915-641-8. https://www.shantarin.com/product/livro-do-desassossego-antologia-essencial

This anthology of the Book of Disquiet was selected for the Portuguese National Plan of Reading for 2027. It features a preface written by Pessoa himself and 49 representative fragments of the work, gathered under seven themes – “Modern Life”; “Daydreaming”; “The City”; “Sensation”; “Identity”; “The Work”; and “The Philosophy of Composition” – conceived together as a map for navigating the author’s poetic universe. The selected fragments provide an encounter with its essential passages and allow the reader to discover why this posthumous work has become one of Fernando Pessoa’s most important literary legacies of contemporary world literature.

This article examines how the LdoD Archive enables new forms of engagement with the Book of Disquiet through its digital interface, highlighting how digital representation can transform the reading and interpretation of complex literary works. By analyzing the editorial and fragmentary nature of Pessoa’s text in a virtual environment, the study contributes to ongoing debates in digital literary studies and supports my broader research on the critical and theoretical implications of digital mediation in literary archives.

As guest editor, I organized the call, mediated between authors and editors, and wrote the introduction. Originating from the Pessoa 3.0 seminars (2023–2024), the issue explores digital archives, AI, and electronic literature, engaging 100 participants from six countries.

This study examines the writing processes of Fernando Pessoa, Jorge Luis Borges, and Enrique Vila-Matas through the reading-writing relationship. Drawing on Haroldo de Campos’ plagiotropia (1997), Jerome McGann’s concept of textual variation (1991), and Manuel Portela’s view of intertextuality (2022), it explores how literary creation is shaped by reinterpretation and transformation.

In this article we discuss the notion of literary fragment based on Fernando Pessoa’s Livro do Desassossego [Book
of Disquiet], an unfinished work written between 1913 and 1935. We address these notions of fragment in the
context of our current TEI-XML encoding of both Pessoa’s autograph materials and their editorial versions for
the LdoD Archive.
