As A Man Grows Older by Italo Svevo
The novel delves into the life of an aging, unremarkable bureaucrat who becomes entangled in a love affair with a much younger woman. As he grapples with his fading youth and the disappointments of his mediocre career, his romantic aspirations lead to a series of comic and poignant misadventures. The narrative explores themes of self-deception, the disillusionment of middle age, and the human struggle to find meaning and connection in a modern world that often seems indifferent to individual desires and fears.
