'Orpheu no.1' Summary
“Orpheu No. 1,” the inaugural issue of the influential Portuguese literary magazine “Orpheu,” marked a pivotal moment in the evolution of Portuguese literature. The magazine championed modernist principles, challenging traditional literary norms with its innovative and experimental approach.

The issue featured a diverse range of literary forms, including poems, essays, and creative prose, demonstrating the breadth of the magazine's artistic vision. “Orpheu No. 1” was not merely a collection of writings; it was a manifesto for a new era in Portuguese literature, characterized by a profound engagement with the complexities of modernity, a rejection of traditional forms and themes, and an exploration of new aesthetic possibilities.
