Historia
The groundbreaking trans-genre work of Argentinian writer Jorge Luis Borges (1899-1986) has been insinuating itself into the structure, stance, and very breath of world literature for well over half a century. Multi-layered, self-referential, elusive, and allusive writing is now frequently labelled Borgesian.

Superb narration by Dominic Keating

"I would say this Fabulous book has the significance of scripture." Phil F.
Superb narration, as It fits perfect with Borges style like a path within the Labyrinth. Clear and precise grammer is spoken here. I've had no problem understanding any words spoken by Dominic Keating, not just in his articulation but also in the pacing, context and tone. I have listened to this audiobook a few times, and have not heard any mis-pronounciations or other grammatical anomalies. This review was written 12/12/2023.
Note: being able to adjust the speed of the narration is crucial in all audiobooks so as to attune to each individuals taste.
If you have not read Borges or Pessoa, you are missing out on literature at its best. If your reading interest are in philosphy, mythology, fringe, decadent, if you appreciate true art ,...I would wholly suggest Borges and Pessoa

Historia
Assembled from notes and jottings left unpublished at the time of the author’s death, The Book of Disquiet is a collection of aphoristic prose-poetry musings on dreams, solitude, time and memory. Credited to Pessoa’s alter ego, Bernardo Soares, who chronicles his contemplations in this so-called "factless" autobiography, the work is a journey of one man’s soul and, by extension, of all human souls that allow their minds and hearts to roam far and free.

Modern, epic...A pouring out of the soul(s)
Revisado: 11-23-22
Excellent narration. Excellent sound quality.
About the book....Notes from The Underground and Thus Spoke Zarathustra came to mind when I first began listening, but this is entirely something else and much more. Is it Philosophy? Is it a very detailed diary? Autobiography? Aphorisms? Fiction? This is the only book by Pessoa that I have read. He wrote under other names(souls), as well. Pessoa is certainly an important writer.
If you are a pessimist, this is for you. If you are a thinker(contemplative), this is for you. If you understand that the best "toy" you can have is your own imagination, this is for you. If you are an optimist you should consider reading (hearing) this.
