In addition to the renowned The Lusiads , the texts studied include two issues of the Luso-Brazilian quarterly Orpheu (1915) and António Ferrös contributions to Brazil¿s Klaxon (1922, in celebration of the centenary of Brazil¿s political independence from Portugal); Oswald de Andrade¿s Anthropophagic Manifesto (1928) and an unpublished letter to Ferro; Fernando Pessoäs poem "Ulysses" in Message (1934); and Haroldo de Campos¿s Galaxies (1984) and "Finismundo: The Last Voyage" (1997).
