《The Book of Disquiet》简介:

Fernando Pessoa was many writers in one. The Portuguese author attributed his work to literary alter egos that he called "heteronyms," each of which had a fully developed identity. When Pessoa died, he left behind a trunk filled with disorderly scraps of unpublished poems and unfinished works, among which was The Book of Disquiet . Published for the first time some fifty years after his death, this unique collection of short, aphoristic paragraphs comprises the "autobiography" of Bernardo Soares, one of Pessoa's alternate selves. Part intimate diary, part prose poetry, part descriptive narrative, captivatingly translated by Richard Zenith, The Book of Disquiet is one of the greatest works of the twentieth century.

《The Book of Disquiet》摘录:

自由是孤立的可能性。只有你离开了人们,感到无需为了钱,或者为了合群,或者为了爱情、光荣甚至好奇去追寻他们,你才能获得自由----那些事情没有哪一件可以得到宁静和寂寞的滋养。
