«El conformista» is the novel by Alberto Moravia published by Edicions 62 in paperback (282 pages, in Catalan).
Marcello Clerici, tormented since childhood by a dark episode, seeks normality by integrating into the fascist regime of 1938 Italy. His commitment to Giulia and his bourgeois surroundings clash with a society that has normalised violence. Moravia paints a portrait of alienation and the desire to belong, where conformity becomes survival.
Number 55 of the MOLU s.XX collection - Les Millors Obres de la Literatura Universal Segle XX; 1991 edition.
A read for those seeking 20th-century Italian literary classics and novels with historical and political background.
Alberto Pincherle, known by his pseudonym Alberto Moravia, was an Italian novelist and journalist. His novels explored matters of modern sexuality, social alienation and existentialism. Moravia is best known for his debut novel Gli indifferenti and for the anti-fascist novel Il conformista, the basis for the film The Conformist (1970) directed by Bernardo Bertolucci. Other novels of his adapted for the cinema are Agostino, filmed with the same title by Mauro Bolognini in 1962; Il disprezzo, filmed by Jean-Luc Godard as Le Mépris ; La noia (Boredom), filmed with that title by Damiano Damiani in 1963 and released in the US as The Empty Canvas in 1964 and La ciociara, filmed by Vittorio De Sica as Two Women (1960). Cédric Kahn's L'Ennui (1998) is another version of La noia.
