Über den Autor
Born in Trieste to a Jewish German father and an Italian mother, Italo Svevo (1861-1928) worked for his father-in-law's paint business for most of his life and was unknown as a writer until the 1923 publication of Zeno's Conscience, which is now considered a classic of Italian fiction.
