The Book of Disquiet book cover
The Book of Disquiet
Fernando Pessoa - 2002-12-31 (first published in 1982)
Goodreads Rating
This posthumous masterpiece is a unique collection of short, aphoristic paragraphs that comprise the "autobiography" of one of Pessoa's alternate selves. Part intimate diary, part prose poetry, and part descriptive narrative, The Book of Disquiet is an astonishing work that gives Lisbon the haunting spell of Joyce's Dublin or Kafka's Prague. With captivating translation by Richard Zenith, this is one of the greatest works of the twentieth century.

Either/Or book cover
Either/Or
A Fragment of Life (Penguin Classics)
Soren Kierkegaard - 1992-12-01 (first published in 1843)
Goodreads Rating
"Either/Or" by Soren Kierkegaard is a groundbreaking philosophical work that explores the conflict between aesthetics and ethics through the viewpoints of two distinct figures. Delving into topics such as Mozart, drama, boredom, and seduction, this masterpiece of duality meditates ironically and seductively upon Epicurean pleasures while eloquently expounding the virtues of a morally upstanding life. This lightly abridged edition fully conveys the original's vigour and eloquence, making it a must-read for any lover of philosophy.

This classic novel follows the adventures of Don Quixote, an aging man who becomes entranced by romances of chivalry and sets out to become a knight errant.

Often hailed as the first modern novel, Don Quixote is a brilliant satire of popular literature and a fascinating exploration of the relationship between two men.
