The Book of Disquiet: The Complete Edition is an exceptional work of classic literature and fiction. Written by Portuguese modernist master Fernando Pessoa, this book is a collection of melancholy observations, aphorisms, and ruminations that grapple with all the eternal questions. The texts are presented chronologically for the first time, in a complete English edition by master translator Margaret Jull Costa. The book is a monumental literary event that spans Pessoa's entire writing life. This edition is a triumph of scholarship and translation, and a modern masterpiece that is searing, addictive, and endearing.
