The Book of Disquiet

Overview

Fragmented inner diary in which Fernando Pessoa transforms consciousness into a space of endless self-examination. Loneliness, ennui, dreaminess, alienation, and the impossibility of a unified self become subjects of philosophical and psychological inquiry. Between dream and waking, thought and sensation, literature emerges in which the inner world proves more real than the external one, and existence itself becomes an occasion for endless reflection on the self and the world
