Zeno's account is an alternative reality, a series of elliptical episodes dealing with the death of his father, his career, his marriage and affairs, and, above all, his passion for smoking and his spectacular failure to resist the promise of that last cigarette. A hymn to self-delusion and procrastination, Svevo's devilishly funny portrayal of a man's attempt to give up smoking and make sense of his life has become a cult classic.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Italo Svevo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50944513114454,"sku":"9780241372609","price":15.31,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0886\/3206\/6390\/files\/9780241372609.jpg?v=1753944963"},{"product_id":"as-a-man-grows-older-9780940322844","title":"Kui mees vananeb","description":"Mitte nii kaua aega tagasi oli Emilio Brentani paljutõotav noor kirjanik. Nüüd on ta kindlustusagent, kes on kiirteel neljakümneseks. Ta saab aga uue hingamise ellu, kui armub nooresse ja kaunisse Angiolinasse – välja arvatud see, et tema ingel juhtub olema vabandamatu petis. Kuid see, mis algab armunud arusaamatuse komöödiana, lõpeb tragöödiaga, kuna Emilio armukade järjekindlus oma rumaluses – eirates oma sõprade ja pühendunud õe nõuandeid ning isegi omaenda parimaid teadmisi – viib selle ainsa inimese kaotuseni, keda ta liiga hilja mõistab, et ta tõeliselt armastab.

His doctor advises him, as a form of therapy, to write his memoirs; in doing so, Zeno reconstructs and ultimately reshapes the events of his life into a palatable reality for himself - a reality, however, founded on compromise, delusion, and rationalization.\u003cbr\u003e With cigarette in hand, Zeno sets out in search of health and happiness, hoping along the way to free himself from countless vices, not least of which is his accursed \"last cigarette!\" (Zeno's famously ineffectual refrain is inevitably followed by a lapse in resolve.)\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e His amorous wanderings win him the shrill affections of an aspiring coloratura, and his confidence in his financial savoir-faire involves him in a hopeless speculative enterprise. Meanwhile, his trusting wife reliably awaits his return at appointed mealtimes. Zeno's adventures rise to antic heights in this pioneering psychoanalytic novel, as his restlessly self-preserving commentary inevitably embroiders the truth. Absorbing and devilishly entertaining, ZENO'S CONSCIENCE is at once a comedy of errors, a sly testimonial to he joys of procrastination, and a surpassingly lucid vision of human nature by one of the most important Italian literary figures of the twentieth century.","brand":"Italo Svevo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51464259633494,"sku":"9781857152494","price":20.02,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0886\/3206\/6390\/files\/9781857152494.jpg?v=1759342850"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.bookshop.ee\/collections\/italo-svevo.oembed","provider":"Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
