It's just shorter. The translation is no worse or better.

Mine is too. Even then, I found it rather repetitive, so I'm not sure that the longer version adds something radically different. Surely, it's still better unabridged, but I still find it more than worthwhile with its 262 pages.

Remember that this is compiled from a bunch of loose notes Pessoa left in a box or something, so there's really no complete version or any way of knowing what he wanted to be published, if he wanted it to be published anyway.

You do know that the size of the font and so on will affect the amount of pages in a book.

Obviously, but the 262 page version is definitely abridged.

If they have simply edited out many of Pessoas unfinished sentences I would not be concerned, because many of Pessoas unfinished sentences are simply unintelligible. I know that there are a lot of unfinished sentences in The Education of the Stoic. From what I recall there are also a few unfinished sentences The Book of Disquiet.

All of them are "abridged" and edited down to a more coherent book.

Penguin is the best, as usual.
