«La coscienza di Zeno» is the novel by Italo Svevo, published by Demetra in paperback (416 pages, in Italian).
Narrated in the first person, the novel presents Zeno Cosini writing his memoirs at the suggestion of his psychoanalyst. With irony, Zeno reviews an existence marked by indecision, chain-smoking and the feeling of being an «inept» for life. Through his contradictions, the work questions what it means to be healthy in a society full of conventions.
Work included in the «Zeno» series by Italo Svevo, of which it is the first instalment, within the Nuovi Acquarelli collection.
Recommended for readers interested in the psychological novel, in twentieth-century Italian literature and in the evolution of modern narrative.
