This enduring classic is "a book which, no matter how many readers it will ever have, will never have enough" (Ernest Hemingway).
The Unquiet Grave is considered by many to be his most enduring work. It is a highly personal journal written during the devastation of World War II, filled with reflective passages that deal with aging, the break-up of a long term relationship, and the horrors of the war around him. It is also a wonderfully varied intellectual feast: a collection of aphorisms, epigrams, and quotations from such masters of European literature as Horace, Baudelaire, Sainte-Beuve, Flaubert, and Goethe.
Dazzlingly original in both form and content, The Unquiet Grave has continued to influence generations of writers.
