Offered in 0 more formats"Il protagonista - di cui non sappiamo il nome - viaggia spesso tra l'Italia e la Svizzera per fornire assistenza agli impianti industriali di un cliente. È sposato con Lara e ha un'amante di nome Isabelle che vive a Zurigo. Nonostante sia perfettamente integrato nella società, l'uomo conduce un'esistenza piatta e monotona, indifferente a tutto e votata al cinismo più crudo. Poco alla volta, l'assenza di qualsiasi sentimento e un perenne senso di disagio lo faranno scivolare in uno stato di insensibile alienazione, allontanandolo da tutto e da tutti, fin quasi al delirio. Con una lingua precisa e affilata, "La perseveranza" è un romanzo che spalanca gli occhi sul dolore e che ci offre un'analisi lucida e spietata dei meccanismi che regolano la vita quotidiana, di cui siamo, sovente, sia le vittime che i carnefici." -- cover.
"The protagonist - of whom we do not know the name - travels often between Italy and Switzerland to provide assistance to a customer's industrial plants. He is married to Lara and has a lover named Isabelle who lives in Zurich. Despite being perfectly integrated into society, the man leads a flat, monotonous existence, indifferent to everything and devoted to crude cynicism. Little by little, the absence of any feeling and a perpetual sense of unease will make him slip into a state of insensible alienation, turning it away from everything and everyone, almost to delirium. With a clear, sharp tongue, "Perseverance" is a novel that opens our eyes to pain and offers us a lucid and ruthless analysis of the mechanisms that regulate everyday life, of which we are often the victims and the prisoners" -- rough translation of the cover.
