«Mensagem» is the poetry collection by Fernando Pessoa, published by Padrões Culturais in paperback (55 pages, in Portuguese).
A work of initiatory character that reviews Portugal's glorious past through myths and heroes, from the discoveries to the decline, and proposes the country's cultural regeneration. The best-known poem, «Mar Português», concentrates that pride and the hope in Portugal's maritime greatness.
It was the only book of poems published during Fernando Pessoa's lifetime (1888-1935). The work originally appeared in 1934 and won the Prémio Antero de Quental.
