SU in Folie eingeschlagen (nicht foliert). - Klappentext: Italo Svevo was the pen-name of businessman Ettore Schmitz (1861-1928); and the name was symbolic of the contradictions inherent in his personality… and career. This Austrian Italian and anticlerical Jew inhabited Italy's 'unredeemed' and fiercely contested city of Trieste. But Schmitz was a dreamer, not a man of action: a Socialist by inclination, who lived as a bourgeois capitalist; a possessive husband who pressed feminist literature on his wife; a novelist turned paint-manufacturer, familiar with Shakespeare, Goethe and Freud, who had fantasies about turpentine, and his 'last cigarette', and literary success; an Italian nationalist who during the Great War supplied paint to the enemy's navy. Only by writing could Svevo face up to these contradictions; and his masterpiece, Confessions of Zeno, reflects the turmoiL, guilt and confusion of twentieth-century man. - This book aims to catch, against the backdrop of public events, the private manneurotic, affable, charming, hard to pin down in the double life that he led: Ettore Schmitz the family man, married to the engaging Livia, and member of the family firmoften sent to London on business, which left him with vivid impressions of the English; and there was Italo Svevo, writer, the friend of James Joyce, who 'discovered' Svevo as Trieste had failed to do. John Gatt-Rutter has v.-ritten a comprehensive, discerning and authoritative biography of this elusive subject who is one of the most representative of modern writers, and whose readers can say, as Svevo did, 'In Zeno I see myself.' John Gatt-Rutter is Lecturer in the School of Humanities, Griffith University, Brisbane. He is the author of Writers and Politics in Modern Italy (1978). - Jacket photo: Italo Svevo watching Italian troops land in Tneste, 3 November 1918.
