«La coscienza di Zeno» is the psychological novel by writer Italo Svevo, published by Mondadori in paperback (416 pages, in Italian).
At the urging of his psychoanalyst, Zeno Cosini writes his autobiography and reviews the decisive episodes of his life: his addiction to tobacco, the death of his father, a loveless marriage, an extramarital affair, and a ruinous business. Through these memories, the novel explores his consciousness, his sense of uselessness, and the difficulty of understanding oneself.
First installment of the «Zeno» series by Italo Svevo, originally published in 1923; this 1988 edition belongs to the Oscar classici moderni collection.
Recommended for readers of classic fiction seeking a psychological narrative and an introduction to twentieth-century Italian literature.
