'If you have never read Svevo, do as soon as you can. He is beautiful and important' New Statesman

'A master' New Yorker

Alfonso Nitti, tormented by the demands of his bank job, longs to be a poet. He also seems to be falling in love with Annetta, the vain and arrogant daughter of his boss. In this tale of the frustrated existence of a bank clerk with a poetic soul, the clash between the emptiness of Alfonso's daily life and his artistic aspirations has devastating consequences.

A Life is the highly personal, semi-autobiographical first novel by Italo Svevo. A failure on first publication, it wasn't until the young James Joyce read this book that A Life finally gained the recognition it deserved, and Svevo was celebrated as one of the greatest Italian modernist novelists.

Arvustused

"Svevo is perhaps the most significant Italian modernist novelist." - Times Literary Supplement

"If you have never read Svevo, do as soon as you can. He is beautiful and important." - New Statesman

Italo Svevo was born in Trieste in 1861. His real name was Hector Schmitz. Educated mainly in Bavaria, he wrote in Italian, and as a young man had to work as a French and German correspondence clerk in a Trieste bank. He was not happy in the business world and at the age of thirty-one he wrote A Life, and published it at his own expense. It was followed four years later by Senility, a novel of tortured eroticism. Both A Life and Senility were such failures that Svevo gave up writing for the next twenty years. During this time he became a good friend of James Joyce, who was also living in Trieste, and who was able to use his influence to make Svevo known in Europe. Svevo was just becoming recognised in Italy when he was killed in a car accident in 1928.
