«La piel» is a novel by Italian writer Curzio Malaparte, published by Ediciones Orbis, S.A. in hardback, with 297 pages, in Spanish.
The novel is set in Naples during the Allied occupation in World War II. Curzio Malaparte portrays a city in ruins where hunger, misery and prostitution deform inhabitants and liberators alike. With irony and rawness, he turns survival into a grotesque spectacle and shows the less heroic side of war.
The novel was originally published in 1949 under the title «La pelle». This 1987 edition belongs to the Novelas de Cine collection, number 18, of the Biblioteca Grandes Éxitos.
A title for readers of twentieth-century Italian literature and novels set during World War II.
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.
