The trunk Fernando Pessoa bequeathed to posterity-from where the manuscripts papers or typed, signed by different characters that make up much of his work-emerged a mysterious notebook with black covers attributed to Baron Teive, starting with a determined affirmation of suicide will and who was heading with the subtitle "the impossibility of higher art." More than a theoretical manual or a guide of practical advice for life-or death-Stoic Education is personal chronicle of a whole willing willingly way: the exercise of reason and weapons to eradicate the pain and consequently the abdication-lucid, implacable, ironical to life.
