Pessoa, Fernando: Lisbon -- What the Tourist Should See
In 1925, Fernando Pessoa wrote a guidebook to Lisbon for English-speaking visitors, and wrote it in English. The book is fascinating in that it shows us Pessoa's view of his native city - and Pessoa, as an adult, rarely left Lisbon, and it figures large in his poetry. The typescript was only discovered amongst his papers long after his death, but has not hitherto been made available in the UK or the USA.
