"The Book of Disquiet" is a collection of late-life essays by Portuguese writer Fernando Pessoa, each in a faux diary format. It is one of the author's most representative works, a work long lost but later collected and compiled by numerous Pessoa scholars. The author's stance in the essays shifts, sometimes portraying a spiritualist, sometimes a materialist... This is a constant within change, a unity within difference, a firmness amidst contradictions, and a clarity within the incomprehensible. It is precisely this spiritual temperament, this unique breakthrough towards the world, that has earned Pessoa the acclaim of contemporary critics as "the core figure of European modernism," "an outstanding classic writer," and "the writer who has most profoundly touched the human soul."
