The lost pearl of the stream of consciousness profoundly influenced the creation of Joyce's "Ulysses", the famous work of "Italian Proust" Italo Svevo! Recommended by James Joyce, J. M. Coetzee, James Wood, and Alain Robbe-Grillet. A wealthy trader from Trieste writes about the most basic experiences of his past life for a psychoanalyst. The uncertain studies at the university, the death of his father, the self-conscious passion for a young girl, the marriage to the girl's sister, the happy and comfortable family life, the mistresses, the more or less lucky and often unprofitable trading business, there was nothing on the surface that could lead to a serious consequence for him: a wife who lovingly maintained the family life, and an agent who wisely managed most of his wealth. Moreover, the aging Zeno did not take an undue interest in these rather ordinary events; he recalled them and interpreted them with only one purpose: to describe his illness and prove that he was ill. The exact nature and vital importance of this belief is what his novel attempts to illustrate in its large format of three hundred and fifty pages. The universe he immerses us in is both grotesque, magical, and completely everyday. It suddenly reaches an exceptional level and remains so until the end.
