Abstract

Based on certain clues, the hypothesis is formulated that a well-known industrialist and financier of the 1920s, Plató Peig Aymamí (or Platão Aymamí Peig), very influential in Portugal, was the model for the story O Banqueiro Anarquista (1922) by Fernando Pessoa. Further still: the banker of the Pessoan story may have been the synthesis of two homonymous characters, two Plató Peig, one a financier, the other an anarchist, the two of them cousins. In any case, the figure of Plató Peig would establish the relationship of this purely abstract “reasoning” narration with the Lisbon environment in which Pessoa lived.
