«Los indiferentes» is the novel by Italian writer Alberto Moravia, published by Ediciones Gp in paperback (319 pages, in Spanish).
Set in fascist Rome, the novel follows a bourgeois family torn between appearances, material self-interest and lack of feeling. Moravia describes with sobriety and detachment their progressive moral decay: indifference is not just a trait of the characters, but the symptom of a social class without convictions.
Translated from the Italian by R. Coll Robert; edition from the Reno Collection. The work was originally published in 1929 as «Gli indifferenti».
For readers of twentieth-century Italian classics and social realist novels, including its reading in schools.
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.
