- Summary
- "In Dreams of Dreams, a delightful variation on exemplary "lives," Antonio Tabucchi imagines the dreams of twenty artists he has loved, among them Ovid and Rimbaud, Chekhov and Debussy, Goya and Garcia Lorca." "The Last Three Days of Fernando Pessoa finds the poet on his deathbed, where he is visited by his heteronyms, the poets he invented, whose poetry and voices invented him. Antonio Tabucchi, scholar and Italian translator of Pessoa's work, here pronounces a farewell to a man who was several of the greatest writers of the twentieth century."--Jacket.
