The Book of Disquiet is the greatest literary achievement of the Portuguese modernist Fernando Pessoa. An "autobiography" or "diary" containing exceptional melancholic observations, aphorisms, and reflections, this classic work tackles all the eternal questions. For the first time, the texts are presented chronologically, in a complete English edition by the acclaimed translator Margaret Jull Costa. Most texts in The Book of Disquiet are written under the semi-heteronymous Bernardo Soares, an assistant bookkeeper. This existential masterpiece was published in Portuguese in 1982, forty-seven years after Pessoa's death. A monumental literary event, this fascinating, new, complete edition covers the entire literary life of Fernando Pessoa.
