About the author
Born in Lisbon in 1890, Mário de Sá-Carneiro became one of the key young writers of Portuguese modernism. He is closely linked with the magazine Orpheu, the short-lived but hugely influential review that helped introduce a bold new literary style in Portugal.
He wrote both poetry and fiction, and his work is often marked by inner conflict, theatrical imagination, and a striking sense of psychological unease. Although his life was very brief, his writing left a lasting mark, and he is still read as one of the most distinctive voices of his generation.
Sá-Carneiro died in Paris in 1916, at just twenty-five years old. That early death helped deepen the aura around his work, but the real reason he endures is simpler: his poems and prose still feel vivid, strange, and deeply personal.
