Fernando Pessoa’s Book of Disquiet Tarot

Fernando Pessoa’s Book of Disquiet Major Arcana Tarot is a 22 card deck. On these cards you will find passages from The Book of Disquiet by the Portuguese poet Fernando Pessoa, translated from Portuguese by Margaret Jull Costa, edited by Jerónimo Pizarro, published by New Directions Publishing, with passages chosen by Jeff Carreira. The cards are designed by Ibiza Tarot. The Book of Disquiet is an existential masterpiece written by the modernist poet Fernando Pessoa during the first half of the 20th Century. The book is a fictional memoir and a sustained inquiry into the experience of living. Mundane activities like the daily tasks of a booking clerk, meals eaten in local restaurants, and walks through the rainy streets of Lisbon, are all illuminated with a penetrating gaze. Through it all, the central character, a stand in for Pessoa himself, dreams of wondrous places and impossible possibilities. The book reveals the meaningfulness that always exists in the most ordinary moments and
