| | | | | | Biography
(Trieste 1861 – Motta di Livenza, Treviso 1928) His real name was Ettore Schmitz, of Jewish mother and German father. He grew up in Trieste, a city under Austo-Hungarian rule with a strong Central European culture which he fully assimilated in his literary works. Svevo’s first novels “Una Vita” (1892 and “Senilità” (1989) met with so little success that the disappointment prevented him from writing for about twenty years. In 1907 Svevo took up English from the great writer James Joyce who encouraged him to try again. Eugenio Montale too pushed for his literary return, but it was not until after the First World War that Svevo finally decided to take up the pen and wrote what is considered to be his masterpiece “La Coscienza di Zeno” (1923). His popularity spread rapidly but unfortunately he did not enjoy it for long for in 1928 he died in a car accident. | | |
