Set in Naples at the end of the Second World War, after the arrival of American troops, it shows a city plunged into misery and humiliation. Malaparte portrays moral degradation, the loss of values and the struggle to survive, with raw scenes that reveal the reality hidden beneath appearances.
Originally published as «La pelle» in 1949, this Spanish edition includes the translation by M. Bosch Barrett and cover by J. Palet.
For readers of Italian fiction and accounts of the Second World War from the civilian experience.
