Publisher's Synopsis

As A Man Grows Older is a novel written by Italian author Italo Svevo. The story revolves around the life of Emilio Brentani, a struggling writer who is in his forties and still trying to establish himself in the literary world. He is married to a woman named Angela, but their relationship is strained and they often argue.Emilio's life takes a turn when he meets a young woman named Amelia, who he becomes infatuated with. As he spends more time with Amelia, Emilio begins to question his own life and the choices he has made. He starts to realize that he has been living a stagnant and unfulfilling existence, and that he needs to make changes in order to find true happiness.Throughout the novel, Svevo explores themes of love, aging, and the search for meaning in life. He also delves into the complexities of human relationships, and the ways in which they can both inspire and hinder personal growth.As A Man Grows Older is considered to be one of Svevo's most important works, and is widely regarded as a masterpiece of modernist literature. It is a thought-provoking and introspective novel that offers a unique perspective on the human condition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
