Fernando Pessoa's most creative (and internationalizable) work is, by far, his heteronyms, but his most notable work is "The message"[0], a short poetry book that took decades to complete. While it can't surpass, it endeavors to stand alongside "The Lusiads"[1] by Luis de Camões[2], the most significant book in the Portuguese language. Unfortunately I suspect that only natives or foreigners with a Ph.D. level understanding of Portuguese history and a strong command of Portuguese can truly comprehend "The message". Portuguese History[3] is encapsulated within its verses, using simple words where everything falls into place.

As a curiosity, the book was warded a poetry prize from "Propaganda" ministry at the time.
