Una Vita by Italo Svevo
A timid, insecure young man leaves his provincial home for work in Trieste, where his modest ambitions, romantic illusions and inability to assert himself entangle him in awkward relationships, manipulative friendships and professional setbacks; the novel traces his inward struggles and the pressures of bourgeois life, offering a realist, psychologically sharp portrait of self-deception, thwarted desire and the slow erosion of youthful hopes.
