{"product_id":"as-a-man-grows-older-9780940322844","title":"As a Man Grows Older","description":"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 on life, though, when he falls for the young and gorgeous Angiolina-except that his angel just happens to be an unapologetic cheat. But what begins as a comedy of infatuated misunderstanding ends in tragedy, as Emilio's jealous persistence in his folly-against his friends' and devoted sister's advice, and even his own best knowledge-leads to the loss of the one person who, too late, he realizes he truly loves. Marked by deep humanity and earthy humor, by psychological insight and an elegant simplicity of style, \u003ci\u003eAs a Man Grows Older\u003c\/i\u003e (\u003ci\u003eSenilità\u003c\/i\u003e, in Italian; the English title was the suggestion of Svevo's great friend and admirer, James Joyce) is a brilliant study of hopeless love and hapless indecision. It is a masterwork of Italian literature, here beautifully rendered into English in Beryl de Zoete's classic translation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e New York Review of Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/30\/2001\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780940322844\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.57lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.03h x 4.99w x 0.67d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew Yorker (The)\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/07\/2002 pg. 74\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Review of Books\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/26\/2002 pg. 58\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Italo Svevo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51948794085557,"sku":"9780940322844","price":15.26,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_b3f10617-5444-43e8-b412-de71a2d8b43d.jpg?v=1762272961","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/as-a-man-grows-older-9780940322844","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
