"Anglomanic, myopic, courteous, elusive, dressed in black, reticent and familiar, the cosmopolitan who preaches nationalism, the solemn investigator of useless things, the humorist who never smiles and makes our blood run cold, the inventor of other poets and self-destroyer, the author of paradoxes clear as water and, like water, dizzying: the mysterious one who doesn't cultivate mystery, mysterious as the moon at noon, the taciturn ghost of the Portuguese midday - who is Pessoa?" - Octavio Paz"
In 1999, translator Richard Zenith made a new find in the Pessoa archive in Lisbon: a group of prose writings by a previously unknown heteronym, the Baron of Teive.' The Portuguese volume of these writings has been received by scholars as a crucial piece of the puzzle that is Pessoa's oeuvre. The Education of the Stoic is the unique work left by the Baron of Teive, who, after destroying all his previous literary attempts and before destroying himself, explains 'the impossibility of producing superior art.' It is the dark companion piece to The Book of Disquiet.'

In 1999, Richard Zenith made a new find in the Pessoa archives in Lisbon: a group of prose writings by a previously unknown heteronym, "The Baron of Teive". The Portuguese writings have been received by scholars as a crucial piece of the puzzle and in content perhaps a key to the heteronymic creative process Fernando Pessoa invented.
