«La hora del diablo» is the tale by Fernando Pessoa, published in 2005 by Editorial Verdehalago in paperback (69 pages, in Spanish).
After the carnival ball, the Devil talks to María on a moonlit street; she only sees a young man dressed as Mephistopheles. He introduces himself as the «God of Imagination», creator of irony and moonlight. María, far from being impressed, feels great pity for him and senses his anguish.
Translation by Miguel Ángel Flores. In the afterword, Teresa Rita Lopes links this text with «Fausto», the dramatic poem that Pessoa kept writing throughout his life.
Recommended for readers of Fernando Pessoa and Portuguese literature interested in a short piece with a fantastic and philosophical tone.
