Synopsis

“Florbela Espanca (1894–1930) é seguramente um dos nomes incontornáveis da literatura portuguesa. A presente antologia permite entender as razões pelas quais a sua poesia merece continuar a ser celebrada. A obra de Florbela versa apaixonadamente sobre os temas da saudade, do amor e da libertação sexual no quadro das années folles do pós-Primeira Guerra Mundial. Na sequência da sua morte prematura em 1930, Florbela tornou-se rapidamente objecto de lenda, graças à irresistível combinação entre um percurso de vida tumultuoso e uma série de sonetos inconfundíveis ao longo dos quais se espraiam ora sentimentos de malogro, ora ardentes proclamações da sua ânsia de viver.”
