The Book of Disquiet: The Complete Edition

For the first timeâ€•and in the best translation everâ€•the complete Book of Disquiet, a masterpiece beyond comparison
The Book of Disquiet is the Portuguese modernist master Fernando Pessoaâ€™s greatest literary achievement. An â€œautobiographyâ€ or â€œdiaryâ€ 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 Pessoaâ€™s death. A monumental literary event, this exciting, new, complete edition spans Fernando Pessoaâ€™s entire writing life.
