After dropping out of high school, Giorgio, a lazy and reckless young man from Trieste, works as a porter and shares a small room with a peer of his age. Money is scarce, and so, in a moment of madness, the young man robs and kills a man. The hair-raising attempts to escape from the police begin. More than from the authorities, though, what Giorgio wants to flee from is himself and the horror he has committed. This unusual detective story, which immerses the reader in a bygone era, marks the literary maturity of Italo Svevo, one of the greatest Italian writers of the 20th century.
Italo Svevo (1861-1928), born Aron Hector Schmitz, was an Italian writer. Influenced by the multicultural nature of his city, Trieste, Svevo was a keen observer of social changes and a pioneer of psychological introspection in literature. Among his most famous works are ‘Una vita, ‘ ‘Senilità, ‘ and ‘La coscienza di Zeno’ (Confessions of Zeno).
