"35 Sonnets" by Fernando Pessoa is a compilation of early 20th-century poetry. It stands as a pillar of modernist literature, questioning existence, love, identity, and failed communication. Pessoa's style showcases his philosophical side, mixed with deep thinking, as seen in his other works. His poems look into the hard parts of being human and show a strong sense of being alone while trying to make friends. Each sonnet mirrors his thoughts on life's puzzles, pairing love with existential despair. Identity is touched upon as he deals with how he feels about himself, making him feel apart from the world. Through stirring mental images and feelings, the sonnets offer a deep look into the passage of time and the search for meaning within a confusing world
