Le 250 pagine del libro potrebbero essere riassunte in dieci righe. Ma di Svevo si ama la scrittura, l'analisi psicologica, lo sguardo dei personaggi sul mondo. E' uno degli autori che ha cambiato la letteratura italiana. ( ) Reason Read: 1001 botm December 22. This book is by Jewish Italian author Svevo and is about a man in Italy who becomes infatuated with a beautiful woman who is also a cheat. Against the advice of friends and family he jealousy clings to this woman who is playing with him. I did not especially enjoy this story. I did not like the main character. It is a character study rather than a plot driven novel. The setting is Italy, The main character is not a young man but entering his middle age and regretting having not had a love in his life. Quotes: "She went on to say that she knew now that one could not fight with death. 'The dead are dead and comfort can only come from the living'." "It is the living who have need of us." "It almost seems as if one half of humanity exists to live and the other to be lived." sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha

Not so long ago Emilio Brentani was a promising young author. Now he is an insurance agent on the fast track to forty. He gains a new lease of life when he falls for the gorgeous Angiolina - except that this angel happens to be an unapologetic cheat. But what begins as a comedy of infatuation and misunderstanding ends in tragedy as Emilio's jealousy and persistence in his folly leads to the loss of the one person whom, too late, he realises he really loves. Marked by deep humanity and earthy humour, by psychological insight and elegant simplicity of style, As a Man Grows Older is a brilliant study of hopeless love and hapless indecision.
