O Livro do Desassossego, assinado por um dos heterônimos de Fernando Pessoa, Bernardo Soares, é considerado um dos trabalhos mais importantes do autor, e tido por ele mesmo como uma "autobiografia sem fatos". Composto de fragmentos organizados em uma narrativa não propriamente linear, o texto publicado em 1913 reflete sobre as relações humanas de forma filosófica e inovadora, mantendo-se atual até os dias de hoje.

Una sofocante semana a finales de agosto del año 79 d.C. ¿Qué mejor lugar para pasar los últimos días del verano que la bahía de Nápoles?

La emoción, la belleza, el sentido trágico y al mismo tiempo grotesco de las grandes pasiones humanas hallan en La Celestina una de sus más intensas expresiones. El «loco amor» de Calisto y Melibea, enhebrado con los hilos de una «bruja», Celestina, culmina fatalmente con la muerte de ambos. Fernando de Rojas es capaz de contarnos esta historia con una habilidad insospechada, que ata al lector a un texto poderoso y magnífico y que obra el milagro de llenar de pasión la lectura misma.
