Message ("Mensagem") was the only book of verse in his own language that Pessoa saw through the press in his lifetime.

Although Pessoa is famous for the many heteronyms under which he composed verse in wildly different styles, this volume was published under his own name (the 'orthonym', as he defined it) and it remains one of his great masterpieces.
