Beschreibung
Sitting at his desk, Bernardo Soares imagined himself free forever of Rua dos Douradores, of his boss Vasques, of Moreira the book-keeper, of all the other employees, the errand boy, the post boy, even the cat. But if he left them all tomorrow and discarded the suit of clothes he wears, what else would he do? Because he would have to do something. And what suit would he wear? Because he would have to wear another suit.
A self-deprecating reflection on the sheer distance between the loftiness of his feelings and the humdrum reality of his life, The Book of Disquiet is a classic of existentialist literature.

Pick one up and open it anywhere and we promise you'
The very book to read when you wake at 3am and can'
An odd, occasionally exasperating and sometimes beautiful book and one that will be your friend at 3am on a sleepless night.
In a time which celebrates fame, success, stupidity, convenience and noise, here is the perfect antidote
