About This Book
The novels that the great Italian writer Alberto Moravia
produced in the years following the World War II represent an
extraordinary survey of the range of human behavior in a fragmented
modern society.
Boredom, the story of a failed artist and pampered son of a rich family
who becomes dangerously attached to a young model, examines the complex
relations between money, sex, an d imperiled masculinity. This powerful
and disturbing study in the pathology of modern life is one of the
masterworks of a writer who, as Anthony Burgess once remarked, was
always trying to get to the bottom of the human imbroglio.
About The Author
Alberto Moravia (1907-1990), the child of a wealthy family,
was raised at home because of illness. He published his first novel, The
Time of Indifference, at the age of twenty-three. Banned from publishing
under Mussolini, he emerged after World War II as one of the most
admired and influential twentieth-century Italian writers.
