Description
The Book of Disquiet: A Fragmented Masterpiece Fernando Pessoa's modernist masterpiece, The Book of Disquiet, is a unique and powerful work of literature. Written over the course of his life, it was first published in 1982, pieced together from thousands of individual manuscript pages left behind after his death in 1935. This new edition presents the text in its original composition, accompanied by facsimiles of the original manuscript, and is the most complete version ever produced. The Book of Disquiet is a deeply personal and introspective work, narrated by an assistant bookkeeper named Bernardo Soares, who is also Pessoa's alter ego. The book is a mosaic of dreams, hope and despair, and a hymn to the streets and cafés of 1930s Lisbon. It is an extraordinary record of the inner life of one of the century's most important writers. This new edition represents the most complete vision of Pessoa's genius, and provides a fascinating insight into the mind of a literary giant.
