Originally published in 1898, Italo Svevo’s Senilità follows the life of Emilio Brentani, a minor civil servant in Trieste whose stagnant existence is disrupted by a reckless infatuation. This Yale University Press edition presents a critical exploration of the protagonist’s psychological fragility and moral paralysis. Through a lens of irony and detachment, Svevo examines the intersection of personal disillusionment and the shifting social landscape of the fin de siècle.
