Biographie de l'auteur
Fernando Pessoa (1888-1935) was born in Lisbon and brought up in Durban, South Africa. He returned to Lisbon in 1905. A prolific writer, ascribing his work to a variety of personas or heteronyms, Pessoa published little in his lifetime and supported himself by working as a commercial translator. Although acknowledged as an intellectual and a poet, his literary genius went largely unrecognised until after his death
Présentation de l'éditeur
With its astounding hardcover reviews Richard Zenith's new complete translation of THE BOOK OF DISQUIET has now taken on a similar iconic status to ULYSSES, THE TRIAL or IN SEARCH OF LOST TIME as one of the greatest but also strangest modernist texts. An assembly of sometimes linked fragments, it is a mesmerising, haunting 'novel' without parallel in any other culture.

Hardcover with Dust Jacket. Etat : VERY GOOD. Etat de la jaquette : NEAR FINE. First Edition. First English Edition, first printing. 278pp. 12mo, tan paper over boards backed in gray cloth with blue foil spine lettering. Book edges sunned, some very faint dusting to the top edge and light thumbing to the fore edge, otherwise clean and sound with square binding. DJ spine almost imperceptibly sunned, very clean and crisp otherwise, price of $25 intact. 'The Book of Disquiet is the Portuguese modernist master Fernando Pessoa's 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 Pessoa's death.' (From the New Directions edition). N° de réf. du vendeur 508594

Hardcover. Etat : Fine. Etat de la jaquette : Fine. 1st Edition. New York: Pantheon Books, 1991. First American edition, first printing. Hardcover. Quarter black cloth over gray paper-covered boards, with blue foil spine lettering. Fine in a fine dust jacket. Publisher's original price intact on jacket flap ($25.00). Comes with archival-quality mylar dust jacket protector. A clean, square copy with no faults. Octavo, 278 pages. This copy comes in a mint dust jacket, and also provided is a second jacket, likewise in mint condition, the result of a publisher's error in wrapping the book with two jackets. "The Book of Disquiet" is Fernando Pessoa's posthumously assembled masterpiece, composed of fragments, aphorisms, and reflections written mostly under the heteronym Bernardo Soares. This edition was translated from the Portuguese by Alfred Mac Adam. Pessoa (18881935) is regarded as Portugal's greatest modernist writer. First published in Portuguese in 1982, nearly fifty years after the author's death, the work is now recognized as one of the essential texts of twentieth-century literature. This was the first English edition in the United States, preceding the later New Directions edition (2017) translated by Margaret Jull Costa and Jerónimo Pizarro.
