'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. It showcased the work of key figures who would later become known as the “Orpheu Generation,” including Fernando Pessoa, Mário de Sá-Carneiro, and Almada-Negreiros. 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. Its influence extended beyond the realm of literature, impacting artistic movements and intellectual discourse in Portugal.Book Details
