Agostino is the story of a sexual awakening and the abrupt loss of innocence of a tormented teenager from the Roman bourgeoisie. It is a tale of his sentimental education, unfolding within the complex mother-son relationship, where maternal love is met with ambivalent feelings of attraction and resentment. As he struggles with his mother's newfound independence, Agostino seeks to break free from her influence by joining a group of local boys, embarking on a painful journey toward adulthood. Written in 1942, this novel remains one of Alberto Moravia's most poignant explorations of existential crisis and coming-of-age.
