The prizewinning, complete and unabridged translation--"the best English-language version we are likely to see for a long time, if ever" (The Guardian)--of a work of unclassifiable genius: the crowning achievement of Portugal's modern master

Winner of the Calouste Gulbenkian Translation Prize for Portuguese Translation

A Penguin Classic

Fernando Pessoa was many writers in one. He attributed his prolific writings to a wide range of alternate selves, each of which had a distinct biography, ideology, and horoscope. When he died in 1935, Pessoa left behind a trunk filled with unfinished and unpublished writings, among which were the remarkable pages that make up his posthumous masterpiece, The Book of Disquiet, an astonishing work that, in George Steiner's words, "gives to Lisbon the haunting spell of Joyce's Dublin or Kafka's Prague."

Published for the first time some fifty years after his death, this unique collection of short, aphoristic paragraphs comprises the "autobiography" of Bernardo Soares, one of Pessoa's alternate selves. Part intimate diary, part prose poetry, part descriptive narrative, captivatingly translated by Richard Zenith, The Book of Disquiet is one of the greatest works of the twentieth century.

"Pessoa is a genius." --Andr Aciman

For slim feet
Size: 13, Color: Black
Had to send both pair back. Nice shoe but their size 12 was to narrow for my feet. Pitty, as they looked and felt great in the box. Got a slender foot? Try these.

Cheap quality
Size: 11, Color: Cognac
I hardly ever leave reviews because most everything is as expected. However these shoes, although they look nice and if you apply a polish they look even better, just aren’t worth it. They are offered at a good price, but don’t live up to even that cost. As others mentioned the stitching came undone within the 2nd day of use. I had to break out the needle to put the thread back in so they wouldn’t fall apart. That problem fixed didn’t stop the issues. Within a couple more weeks of use the leather started peeling on the tip of the shoes and thus lost all future use. You would be better off buying a more expensive pair with better quality leather and stitching.

These shoes have quickly become my go-to shoes for everyday wear. First off, the fit and comfort are fantastic right out of the box — no breaking-in period needed. They feel supportive without being stiff, and I can wear them all day without my feet getting tired. I really like the look too. They strike a nice balance between casual and polished, so they work with jeans, chinos, or even smart-casual outfits. The design isn’t too loud or flashy, but they still look sharp enough for dinners, errands, or work-from-home Zoom calls. One thing I love is how easy they are to slip on and off. No laces to fuss with, and the elastic stretch makes getting them on quick and easy — perfect for mornings when I’m rushing out the door. They also feel versatile. I’ve worn them for walking around town, to casual office days, and even a weekend brunch, and they’ve suited every situation without looking out of place. Overall the quality feels solid for the price — good stitching, durable materials, and so far no signs of wear after a few weeks of frequent use. Comfort, style, and convenience all in one pair. If you want casual loafers that look good and feel great without any fuss, these are definitely worth checking out.
