The Skin is the savage account of the American occupation of Naples, first European city to be liberated in World War II. Malaparte's bestseller is the famous tale of the orgiastic riot of licentiousness, debauchery, and sensuality which took place when the conquered Italians, men, women and children, long under the Fascist and Nazi boot, hastened to prostitute themselves to their American conquerors, the U.S. Army."Malaparte is a very great writer," said the noted critic, Pierre Lesdain. "The Skin is a tremendous work, a masterpiece. Writers like Henry Miller and Malaparte have such vitality, such vigor, such immense power that when viewed by ordinary men they seem monstrous. In The Skin everything is on a grand scale."Here at last is The Skin, the over two-million-copy best seller about the U.S. Army loose in occupied Naples in World War II. The power, violence, and cruelty in these pages are a passionate reaction to the spectacle of human degradation. In The Skin, the military decay and the destruction of Europe are taken to stand for the moral collapse and revolution of modern life. The Skin has been hailed by readers and critics throughout the world as a work of epic proportions."MALAPARTE is a great writer. THE SKIN is a tremendous work. In THE SKIN everything is on a grand scale."-Pierre Lesdain"MALAPARTE is the most epic of all the great writers of Europe."-Robert Pick"MALAPARTE is the prophet of a martyred, conquered Europe-a noble, despairing prophet whose song will remain unforgettable." Paul Levy.

This is the first unexpurgated English edition of Curzio Malaparte’s legendary work The Skin. The book begins in 1943, with Allied forces cementing their grip on the devastated city of Naples. The sometime Fascist and ever-resourceful Curzio Malaparte is working with the Americans as a liaison officer. He looks after Colonel Jack Hamilton, “a Christian gentleman . . . an American in the noblest sense of the word,” who speaks French and cites the classics and holds his nose as the two men tour the squalid streets of a city in ruins where liberation is only another word for desperation. Veterans of the disbanded Italian army beg for work. A rare specimen from the city’s famous aquarium is served up at a ceremonial dinner for high Allied officers. Prostitution is rampant. The smell of death is everywhere. Subtle, cynical, evasive, manipulative, unnerving, always astonishing, Malaparte is a supreme artist of the unreliable, both the product and the prophet of a world gone rotten to the core.Taal: Engels;Formaat: ePub met kopieerbeveiliging (DRM) van Adobe;Kopieerrechten: Het kopiëren van (delen van) de pagina's is niet toegestaan ;Geschikt voor: Alle e-readers te koop bij bol.com (of compatible met Adobe DRM).

classics,contemporary,education and reference,fiction,foreign language fiction,literary,literature and fiction,world literature, In The Skin, Curzio Malaparte extends the great fresco of European society he began in Kaputt. There the scene was Eastern Europe, here it is Italy during the years from 1943 to 1945; instead of Germans, the invaders are the American armed forces. In all the literature that derives from the Second World War, there is no other book that so brilliantly or so woundingly presents triumphant American innocence against the background of the European experience of destruction and moral collapse.
