The Book of Disquiet: The Complete Edition

English

By (author): Fernando Pessoa

Translated by: Margaret Jull Costa

The Book of Disquiet is the Portuguese modernist master Fernando Pessoas greatest literary achievement. An autobiography or diary containing exquisite melancholy observations, aphorisms, and ruminations, this classic work grapples with all the eternal questions. Now, for the first time the texts are presented chronologically, in a complete English edition by master translator Margaret Jull Costa. Most of the texts in The Book of Disquiet are written under the semi-heteronym Bernardo Soares, an assistant bookkeeper. This existential masterpiece was first published in Portuguese in 1982, forty-seven years after Pessoas death. A monumental literary event, this exciting, new, complete edition spans Fernando Pessoas entire writing life. See more
