Notes: | Translated and adapted by Mark O'Thomas from Fernando Pessoa's novel Livro do Desassossego | |||||
Synopsis: | Listed as one of The Guardian's top 100 books of all time, Fernando Pessoa's Book of Disquiet was discovered in a trunk in his apartment in Lisbon after his death in 1935. Part novel, part memoir, part philosophical meditation on the futility of living, Pessoa's Livro defies definition and endures as a testament to modernist writing. Why do I feel strangely drawn to the kind of people I'd usually run a mile from? Religious fundamentalists, for example. At least those guys make an effort. They yearn for what they really don't know. The rest of us cross the stage as walk-ons, extras, without any lines. Satisfied with the pompous solemnity of the crossing itself. | |||||
