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.

作者簡介
Fernando Pessoa (1888-1935) was born in Lisbon and raised in South Africa. After returning to Lisbon to study, he made a living as a translator and wrote obsessively in English, French, and
Portuguese. While acknowledged as an intellectual and a poet, his literary genius went largely unrecognized until after his death.
