The Book of Disquiet " Complete Edition "

Translated by: Tahseen Al-Khatib

One of the greatest masterpieces of 20th-century world literature; an intimate, astonishing collection of poetic fragments and introspective prose exploring solitude, identity, and the existential human condition.

About this book

The Book of Disquiet (Livro do Desassossego) by Fernando Pessoa (translated into Arabic by Tahseen Al-Khatib and published by Kalima) is a monumental work of modernist literature and one of the most celebrated prose achievements of the 20th century.
Attributed to one of Pessoa’s key heteronyms, Bernardo Soares—a humble bookkeeper in Lisbon—this "factless autobiography" is composed of hundreds of brilliant, poetic fragments found in a wooden trunk after Pessoa's death. Soares spends his days observing the misty streets of Lisbon and contemplating the vastness of inner solitude, the passing of time, and the strange beauty of mundane existence. Rendered into Arabic with lyrical mastery, this edition offers readers an unforgettable encounter with one of literature's most profound and uniquely haunting voices.

Why read it?

Read this book to experience one of the most profound meditations on human consciousness ever written—a timeless sanctuary for lovers of philosophical prose, exquisite style, and existential depth.

Who is it for?

Essential for fans of world literature, lovers of philosophy and introspective prose, admirers of Fernando Pessoa, and readers who cherish poetic, soul-searching texts.
