A newly translated collection of fiction by the influential Italian modernist, continuing on his landmark work Zeno''s Conscience.A Very Old Man collects five linked stories, parts of an unfinished novel that the great Triestine Italo Svevo wrote at the end of his life, after the international success of Zeno’s Conscience in 1923. Here Svevo revisits with new vigor and agility themes that fascinated him from the start—aging, deceit, and self-deception, as well as the fragility, fecklessness, and plain foolishness of the bourgeois paterfamilias—even as memories of the recent, terrible slaughter of World War I and the contemporary rise of Italian fascism also cast a shadow over the book’s pages. It opens with “The Contract,” in which Zeno’s manager, the hardheaded young Olivi, expresses, like the war veterans who were Mussolini’s early followers, a sense of entitlement born of fighting in the trenches. Zeno, by contrast, embodies the confusion and paralysis of the more decorous, although sleepy, way of life associated with the onetime Austro-Hungarian Empire which for so long ruled over Trieste but has now been swept away. As always, Svevo is attracted to the theme of how people fail to fit in. It is they, he suggests, who offer a recognizably human countenance in a world ravaged by the ambitions and fantasies of its true believers.

From the bestselling author of Abbey Road comes the story of how enduring rock icons like Pink Floyd, Bruce Springsteen and many more have remained in the ever-changing music game.‘May be his best yet…recommended to anyone for whom pop music means anything at all’ Daily Mail‘Hepworth is a genuinely great writer, with a winning turn of phrase’ Guardian__________When Paul McCartney closed Live Aid in July 1985, we thought he was rock''s Grand Old Man. He was forty-three years old.As the forty years since have shown he - and many others of his generation - were just getting started.This was the time when live performance took over from records. The big names of the 60s and 70s exploited the age of spectacle that Live Aid had ushered in to enjoy the longest lap of honour in the history of humanity, continuing to go strong long after everyone else had retired.This is a story without precedent, a story in which Elton John plays a royal funeral, Mick Jagger gets a knighthood, Bob Dylan picks up the Nobel Prize, the Beatles become, if anything, bigger than the Beatles, and it''s beginning to look as though all of the above will, thanks to the march of technology, be playing Las Vegas for ever.__________''Offers solid insights into the compulsions and drives that keep bands reforming'' Sunday Times''The book is destined to become the go-to text on a subject we never thought we''d have to survey'' Literary ReviewReads like a series of rich, fast-paced and immensely funny short stories'' The OldiePraise for David Hepworth''Such a clever writer'' Spectator''Hepworth''s writing is sublime'' Daily Mail''A refreshingly independent thinker'' Daily Telegraph''Hepworth''s knowledge and understanding of rock history is prodigious'' Sunday Times
