Книга: Zeno's Conscience

This enormously engaging, strange novel is both an engrossing saga of a family and a hilarious account of addiction and failure as it's helpless hero, notionally undergoing psychiatric help, manages spectacularly to fail to give up smoking, run his business or make sense of his private life. A hymn to self-delusion and procrastination ZENO'S CONSCIENCE has provoked enormous affection in its readers both in Italian and English since its first publication in the 1920s.
