| Resumo: | The wonder of Pessoa’s marginalia, the forms they assumed and the intention behind them is the topic of this essay, which intends not only to present the emotive intensity that characterized the reading process of a vast amount of books, but also shows that each annotation of a book is a valuable element to identify a literary identity,once comments and notes promote the access to mental processes of the reader/annotator that Fernando Pessoa has become and the interactive moments he performed with the authors he read. The exhaustive analysis of Fernando Pessoa’s marginalia in the books that belonged to his private library is a very important aid to help rebuilding his reading process as his annotations reflect aesthetic and literary worries that the Portuguese poet would express in his texts all his life and that show the emotive intensity that characterized him as a reader, a thinker and an interlocutor of each book read and annotated. |
