| The definition of a man of letters is an author who prefers questions to answers, who prefers gentleness, humanity and doubt to hard, unyielding and often unfounded certainty. His knowledge of life, beauty, nature and self steers him away from intellectual megalomania. He does not need to be right, to claim to have all the answers. Eduardo Lourenço is just such a man. As the author of Pessoa Revisitado, he knows we are all spirits lost in time and that, though even words cannot break our ultimate solitude, they at least create a little warmth in the void of infinity. He knows that literature is our last line of defence against boredom, melancholy and despair. He has taken refuge in it himself. As an individual, Eduardo Lourenço is an anxious man, but in the world of books he has the confidence of a connoisseur. He is in his element. |
