यो इ-पुस्तकका बारेमा

Not so long ago Emilio Brentani was a promising young author. Now he is an insurance agent on the fast track to forty. He gains a new lease on life, though, when he falls for the young and gorgeous Angiolina—except that his angel just happens to be an unapologetic cheat. But what begins as a comedy of infatuated misunderstanding ends in tragedy, as Emilio’s jealous persistence in his folly—against his friends’ and devoted sister’s advice, and even his own best knowledge—leads to the loss of the one person who, too late, he realizes he truly loves.

Marked by deep humanity and earthy humor, by psychological insight and an elegant simplicity of style, As a Man Grows Older (Senilità, in Italian; the English title was the suggestion of Svevo’s great friend and admirer, James Joyce) is a brilliant study of hopeless love and hapless indecision. It is a masterwork of Italian literature, here beautifully rendered into English in Beryl de Zoete’s classic translation.-Print ed.

“The poem of our complex modern madness.”—EUGENIO MONTALE

“Svevo has the capacity—so rare as to be almost unknown in the English novel—of handling emotional relationships with a combined tenderness, humour and realism.”—THE TIMES LITERARY SUPPLEMENT

लेखकको बारेमा

Italo Svevo was an Italian writer and businessman, known as a novelist, playwright, and short story writer. Born as Aron Ettore Schmitz in Trieste in 1861 to a German-Jewish family, Italo Svevo (literally Italian Swabian) wrote the classic, self-published 1923 novel La Coscienza di Zeno (Confessions of Zeno, or Zeno’s Conscience), which might have vanished into obscurity were it not for famous author James Joyce, whom Schmitz met in 1907 when Joyce tutored him in English while working for Berlitz in Trieste.

Joyce, who had read Schmitz’ earlier novel Senilità (As Man Grows Older), which had also been largely ignored when published in 1898, championed Confessions of Zeno, assisting in having it translated into French and published in Paris, where it received extraordinary critique.
