Assembled from notes and jottings left unpublished at the time of the author’s death, The Book of Disquiet is a collection of aphoristic prose-poetry musings on dreams, solitude, time and memory.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.

Though his outward life as an assistant bookkeeper in downtown Lisbon is a humdrum affair, Soares lives a rich and varied existence within the contours of his own mind, where he can be and do anything. Soares has no ambition, nor has he any friends; he is plagued with disquiet, and only imagination and dreams can conquer it.

Compiled by the translator Richard Zenith, Fernando Pessoa’s The Book of Disquiet is a fulgent tribute to the imagination of man. Translation by Richard Zenith.

I love this work! Contemplative, soul searching. For anyone who loves literary prose and who looks for the strange.

if you stick with it, you will get something out of this work, and just maybe be moved by it. It is beautifully introspective and must be taken both lightly and seriously. but, if you can’t keep an open mind then I seriously wouldn’t bother.

a vitally important, and beautiful work

The definition of brilliance. I’ve never related so much to a piece of literature. I simply did not want the book to end.

I didn’t want the book to ever end.

There's something that I absolutely adore about this beautiful book, but it's hard to put a name to. Eventually, Pessoas depressing and devistating prose about tedium and insignificance became tiring- and perhaps even a little annoying. So often it was clear that, had he been a little less self-concerned, he could've rescued himself from his indeterminate existential crisis-he was obviously completely aware of what was wrong, but..I dunno. He made of his suffering something of an artistic endevor, and as such, never really intended to better himself. It's hard to even say if he discovered any significant wisdom from essentially sacrificing his own life to spiritually rot- he set himself up to eternally fail, and still he complained as though he was some unfortunate victim of personhood. But he is undeniably brilliant- his ability to articulate human anguish is almost difficult to believe, It's amazing that someone would even devote themselves to something so fundamental, and in my opinion, the world is better for it. It's glaringly 'real' if that makes sense.

An essential read

Excellent. Meditative and thoughtful writing full of food for thought. Definitely worth a read, one of my favorites now.

Excellent

Aesthetics of artificiality (#114 in the books delineation) is life changing. Worth a read, a re-read and yet another.

Best fiction title ever written

I understand that this is not for everyone. Most people will find Pesoa unbearably morose, elementary intellectual at best, petty. and at times even excruciating to listen to. But for the rest of us.... more so for me. Pesoa expressed every one of my inner most feelings; fears, lusts, addictions, and everything in between. So reading Pesoa for me the first time was like a baby taking its first breath of air without even knowing the importance of the moment, the importance of air.....the lifelong necessity of it. This is Pesoa to me

The book that saved my life

Pessoa is like no one else. The closest thing to a poetic philosopher I can think of, he uses language in ways that blew my mind. If you learn a bit about his biography before reading, it will help you get a lot more out of the book because Pessoa was a fascinating person.

A complex masterpiece

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.

Modern, epic...A pouring out of the soul(s)

no story of any kind. Dubious quality sets of unrelated thoughts. This is a book of aphorisms. not good to listen to.
