Texto inagotable hacia el que no cabe la indiferencia, el Libro del desasosiego responde a la inquisición ferozmente subjetiva e individualista que Fernando Pessoa (1888-1935) ejerció sobre su propia persona. El tanteo, el titubeo, la propia extrañeza ante sí y ante el mundo, se encarnan en este libro fragmentario, proteico e insumiso, y en su propio autor, Bernardo Soares (persona interpuesta de Pessoa), insignificante auxiliar de contable, y la asombrosa galería de personajes de los cuales sienta registro: personajes pequeños y a la par insondables, como enquistados en su propia nimiedad, que justifican el calificativo de "libro-sueño" que alguna vez se le ha adjudicado. Esta obra singular, en la que la expresión de la subjetividad alcanza su ápice, discurre desde la ficción al apunte conformando una experiencia única para el lector.Edición y traducción de Manuel Moya
