Description
Fernando Pessoa's The Book of Disquiet is a modernist masterpiece that has become an iconic work of 20th-century literature. This complete and unabridged edition, published in Penguin Modern Classics, presents Pessoa's unique exploration of the human experience. The Book of Disquiet is a complex and fragmented work, comprising an assembly of linked fragments that dismantle the nature of memory, identity, time, and narrative. Pessoa's use of heteronyms, fully-realised substitute personalities, adds to the work's strangeness and depth. This edition includes notes on the reconstruction of the text, appendices containing material omitted from the final version, and letters intended for incorporation into the text. A key aspect of Pessoa's work is the blurring of boundaries between reality and fiction, making it a work of great interest to readers of literary fiction.
