<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"Roberto Bazlen published nothing in his lifetime. An advisor to Italian publishing houses, a translator of Freud and Jung, a friend of Montale and Calvino, he was nothing if not a literary man, but he was deeply suspicious of the enterprising spirit of the 'literary world' and kept his writings to himself. Here, translated into English for the first time, the reader will discover Bazlen's private oeuvre: an unfinished novel, The Sea Captain, which bears comparison with the fiction of Kafka and Beckett; a selection of entries from his notebooks dealing with topics as various as whether or not there is an 'animal Jahweh' and the aesthetic limitations of the cinema; a trio of essays on his native city of Trieste; and a sampling of his editorial letters"--<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><strong>Roberto Bazlen published nothing in his lifetime.</strong> An advisor to Italian publishing houses, a translator of Freud and Jung, a friend of Montale and Calvino, he was nothing if not a literary man, but he was deeply suspicious of the enterprising spirit of the "literary world" and kept his writings to himself.
