The book of Disquiet

Fernando Pessoa

New Directions, NY. 2017. First New Directions Clothbound edition. Like new. Stunner.

From the publisher:

"Published for the first time some fifty years after his death, this unique collection of short, aphoristic paragraphs comprises the "autobiography" of Bernardo Soares, one of Pessoa's alternate selves. Part intimate diary, part prose poetry, part descriptive narrative, captivatingly translated by Richard Zenith, The Book of Disquiet is one of the greatest works of the twentieth century."

This book is simply a work of total genius. An aphoristic journey into the disquiet mind of Pessoa. Universally relatable. Just buy it, it's my "Lock of the Week."
