About this Item

Svevo's second novel, of a failed intellectual. First published to little notice in Italy in 1898, but championed by James Joyce after he read it while tutoring Svevo in English in 1907 and finally published in English several years after Svevo's death, this first edition in English features an introduction by Stanislaus Joyce, who discusses his brother's championing of Svevo's work, and hints that Leopold Bloom is in part modelled on Svevo. Svevo is now considered one of Italy's finest authors. Hardcover, lacking the jacket, as pictured. General wear, corners bumped, minor spine fade, gaps at the gutters between sections, but binding remains sound. Text clean; xiv, [2], 245 pages. Size: Octavo. Seller Inventory # v0260
