	Italo Svevo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Born in Trieste (then in Austria-Hungary), Svevo wrote the classic novel La Coscienza di Zeno (rendered as Confessions of Zeno, or Zeno's Conscience) and self-published it in 1923.
		Svevo was a citizen of the Austro-Hungarian Empire until the end of the First World War.
		Svevo brings a keenly sardonic wit to his observations of Trieste and, in particular, to his hero, an indifferent man who cheats on his wife and lies to his psychiatrist and who is trying to explain himself to his psychiatrist by revisiting his memories.

	LRB \| James Wood : Mixed Feelings (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		His pseudonym, Italo Svevo, or Italus the Swabian, was adopted as a way of acknowledging his mixed heritage: Italian by language (Trieste dialect was spoken at home), Austrian by citizenship (Trieste was a city of the Austro-Hungarian Empire) and German (in fact, German-Jewish) by ancestry.
		Svevo's hostility to the perceived lack of ideas in poetry is significant, because he is one of the most thoroughly philosophical of modern novelists.
		But Svevo, a writer in a businessman's suit for so many years, was in some ways not a cheerful bourgeois, and Zeno enacts a hypocritical parody of the bourgeois life, of which the hypocrisy of religious ailments and cleansings is one aspect.

	Granta: Italo Svevo
		Italo Svevo (1861-1928), whose given name was Ettore Schmitz, was born in Trieste into a Jewish family of Italian and German descent-as his pseudonym reflects.
		Svevo published two novels in the 1890s, A Life and As a Man Grows Older, but after they were dismissed by critics and ignored by the public, he abandoned literature and went to work in his father-in-law's paint business.
		Svevo had finished a new book (The Tale of the Good Old Man and of the Lovely Young Girl) and was at work on another when he was killed in a car crash in 1928.

	The Italian Alternative (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Championed by James Joyce, the Italian novelist Italo Svevo was born in Trieste in 1861.
		The encounter with Freud’s theories provided Svevo with the ideal conceptual framework he had not found in the complex combination of positivistic rationalism, Crocean idealism, orthodox Roman Catholicism and the inevitable question juive to which he was simultaneously exposed in the porto franco of Trieste.
		In addition, when Svevo opted for Senilità, he then remained “steadfastly committed” to it because he felt that it was crucial and that to change it was to “mutilate the novel.”; This is why it also appears (Freudianly given in parenthesis) on the cover of this new translation.

	Brotto - Italo Svevo's Zeno's Conscience
		But Svevo's writing being unstylish (dialogues are clumsy, vocabulary is limited, there are many errors of form, etc.), criticism has made many very different arguments for his greatness as a writer, none of them very persuasive.
		Svevo seems to be perfectly conscious that appropriative desire alone does not trigger rivalry, and his novel shows indisputable evidence of this consciousness.
		Nevertheless, Svevo's view of the modern Western world is in no way an optimistic one, and in his text exchange never occurs between equals who recognize each other as such, and all humans as free subjects.

	Italo Svevo's Study of the Self
		Now, in 1917, Svevo's widow recorded, 'he began to collect his ideas on numerous scraps of paper for a book of memoirs which was never completed,' and she quotes from the same passage from which I have just quoted.
		Svevo did of course put his name to the Profilo autobiografico - an autobiography of sorts, written in the third person from a first draft by his friend, the journalist Giulio Césari, and then much revised by Svevo himself.
		Zeno is and is not 'cured,' humanity is and is not terminally diseased, Svevo (and we) are and are not responsible for the crimes and catastrophes of history, ethical issues such as these are and are not central to the text, or to our lives.

	Memoir of Italo Svevo, Livia Veneziani Svevo
		Writer Italo Svevo had many things in common with other writers: a long struggle for recognition; a friendship with a noteworthy author (in Svevo's case, James Joyce); and a long list of neuroses.
		Livia Veneziani Svevo tirelessly worked on her husband's behalf after his tragic early death and also penned this remarkable portrait of a serious artist and a loving (if quirky) marriage.
		Memoir of Italo Svevo tells the story of how a successful middle-aged businessman, as obsessed with smoking as with his abandoned literary ambitions, somehow became one of the great authors of the twentieth century.

		Italo Svevo's novel Senilita is one of the great achievements in the bourgeoning era of early Modernism.
		Svevo, as is well-known from any synopsis of summary of his career, was an Italian Jew brought up primarily in a German-speaking milieu.
		What anchors the reader as he or she navigates through the precipitous landscape of Emilio's psyche are the passages in the novel that bring the city of Trieste to unequivocal life in all kinds of weather.

	Amazon.com: Confessions of Zeno (Vintage International): Books: Italo Svevo (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		The pliant protagonist of Italo Svevo's 1923 classic Confessions of Zeno is, among other things, a bumbling businessman, a guilt-ridden adulterer, and a hardcore nicotine addict.
		But, the difference to our diaries or biographies is that Italo Svevos writing skill is much better than us (even better than Milan Kundera), and I think the way that Svevo observes and perceives this world and the life is more interesting than ordinary people.
		In my eyes, I think the best point of this book is that Svevo tried to stand on an ordinary peoples point to describe a real and ridiculous life, and I really appreciate Svevos humor.This is an admirable and recommendable book, especially for people who want to involve into this spectacular and ridiculous world.

		Svevo more than once avowed the urge to come to terms with himself, and Svevo scholars have regularly acknowledged the autobiographical dimension of his writing.
		This paper attempts to define more precisely the relationship, or the distinction, between a personal investment and a science of the self in Svevo's quasi-autobiographical works, leading, in La coscienza di Zeno, to trapping the reader into complicity with the bad conscience of the protagonist (to quote Baudelaire: "Hypocrite lecteur!
