The Skin is a novel by Italian writer Curzio Malaparte, published in 1949. Set in Naples during World War II, the work explores the moral and physical degradation caused by the war and the Allied occupation. Through a raw and often grotesque narrative, Malaparte examines the loss of innocence and dehumanization in a world devastated by conflict.
Curzio Malaparte was an Italian writer, filmmaker, war correspondent and diplomat. Malaparte is best known outside Italy for his works Kaputt (1944) and The Skin (1949). The former is a semi-fictionalised account of the Eastern Front during the Second World War and the latter is an account focusing on morality in the immediate post-war period of Naples.
