{"product_id":"9780375413308","title":"Zeno's Conscience","description":" The first new translation in more than 70 years of the modern Italian classic discovered and championed by James Joyce.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eZeno’s Conscience \u003c\/i\u003e(previously translated as \u003ci\u003eConfessions of Zeno\u003c\/i\u003e) is at once a comedy of errors, a sly testimonial to the joys of procrastination, and a surpassingly lucid vision of human nature. Italo Svevo tells the story of a hapless, doubting, guilt-ridden man paralyzed by fits of despair and ecstasy and tickled by his own cleverness. His doctor advises him, as a form of therapy, to write his memoirs; and 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\u003eAbsorbing and devilishly entertaining, \u003ci\u003eZeno’s Conscience \u003c\/i\u003eis a pioneering psychoanalytic novel by one of the most important Italian literary figures of the 20th century.
