Description Life is an experimental journey undertaken involuntarily ...Seated at his desk in Lisbon's Rua dos Douradores, Bernado Soares an assistant bookkeeper in a small import/export company observes the world around him. Although his existence has the appearance of ordinary uneventfulness, in his imagination he journeys to the near and far discovering as he goes the depths of human despair and the dizzy exaltation of high achievement. When the enigmatic Portuguese writer Fernando Pessoa died in 1935, he left a trunk containing 25, 426 items ... a vast collection of poems, fragments, plays and journals, typed or scrawled in three different languages in notebooks, scraps of paper, serviettes and used envelopes. The Sidetrack company have delved into the celebrated archive to create their own order out of the chaotic universe of Pessoa's trunk.
