Sinopsis

Fernando Pessoa's 'Antinous: A Poem' is a haunting and mesmerizing work that delves into the complexities of desire, identity, and loss. Written in a lyrical and introspective style, Pessoa's poem reflects the modernist sensibilities of the early 20th century, blending traditional forms with innovative techniques. The narrative follows the tragic love story of Emperor Hadrian and his beloved Antinous, exploring themes of power, beauty, and mortality. The poem's vivid imagery and poignant emotional depth make it a captivating read for those interested in poetry, classical literature, and historical romance. Fernando Pessoa, a prominent figure in Portuguese literature, was known for his profound exploration of the human psyche and his innovative approach to poetry. His diverse literary output, characterized by his use of heteronyms and unique narrative voices, reflects a deep engagement with existential and philosophical themes. It is Pessoa's fascination with history, mythology, and the nature of reality that inspired him to write 'Antinous: A Poem', showcasing his skill as a visionary poet and intellectual. I highly recommend 'Antinous: A Poem' to readers who appreciate introspective and thought-provoking poetry, as well as those interested in exploring themes of love, longing, and transcendence. Pessoa's exceptional storytelling and poetic craftsmanship make this work a timeless and profound reflection on the human experience.

    ‘April Ashley was born, aged twenty-five, on 12 May 1960. It was a difficult birth at the Clinique du Parc on rue Lapébie, a back street running parallel to the admired avenue d’Amade in Casablanca, on a day when the Moroccan sunshine was behaving the way the guidebooks say it should . . .’ 
    Through her own – often bloody-minded – determination and the medical skill of others, April Ashley became the woman she had always believed herself to be. 
    And for half a dozen decades she soared around, over and above momentous and turbulent times, difficult, and changing times when, finally, who you wanted to be and who you could be became the cultural topic of the day. 
    She overcame opprobrium and penury and became renowned and celebrated for one specific achievement: being April Ashley. 
    This raw, moving and funny memoir reveals April’s life as never before.
