Description

Zeno's Conscience is a masterful exploration of the human psyche, as a man struggles to reconcile his desires with his sense of duty. After being advised to write his memoirs, Zeno sets out to reconstruct his life, but his narrative is marked by compromise, delusion, and rationalization. As he navigates his relationships and personal struggles, Zeno's inner turmoil is both absorbing and devilishly entertaining. Through his story, Italo Svevo offers a sly commentary on the human condition, revealing the complexities and contradictions of human nature. With its pioneering psychoanalytic themes, Zeno's Conscience is a deeply insightful and engaging read. This new translation by William Weaver brings the novel to a new generation of readers, offering a fresh perspective on a story of self-discovery and the human condition.
