Livro do desassossego: Composto por Bernardo Soares, ajudante de guarda-livros na cidade de Lisboa

Editora Companhia das Letras
3

O narrador principal (mas não exclusivo) das centenas de fragmentos que compõem este livro é o "semi-heterônimo" Bernardo Soares. Ajudante de guarda-livros na cidade de Lisboa, ele escreve sem encadeamento narrativo claro, sem fatos propriamente ditos e sem uma noção de tempo definida. Ainda assim, foi nesta obra que Fernando Pessoa mais se aproximou do gênero romance. Os temas não deixam de ser adequados a um diário íntimo: a elucidação de estados psíquicos, a descrição das coisas, através dos efeitos que elas exercem sobre a mente, reflexões e devaneios sobre a paixão, a moral, o conhecimento. "Dono do mundo em mim, como de terras que não posso trazer comigo", escreve o narrador. Seu tom é sempre o de uma intimidade que não encontrará nunca o ponto de repouso.

The Book of Disquiet
Fernando Pessoa
Sitting at his desk, Bernardo Soares imagined himself free forever of Rua dos Douradores, of his boss Vasques, of Moreira the book-keeper, of all the other employees, the errand boy, the post boy, even the cat. But if he left them all tomorrow and discarded the suit of clothes he wears, what else would he do? Because he would have to do something. And what suit would he wear? Because he would have to wear another suit.

A self-deprecating reflection on the sheer distance between the loftiness of his feelings and the humdrum reality of his life, The Book of Disquiet is a classic of existentialist literature.

The Book of Disquiet
Fernando Pessoa
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.
