«La vida interior» is the novel by Alberto Moravia, published by Plaza Janés in paperback (382 pages, in Spanish).
Desideria, the adopted daughter of Viola, a rich and corrupt woman, confesses to a narrator a life of rebellion against her family, her class and the society that shaped her. Driven by an inner voice, she does not stop at prostitution, kidnapping or incest; the novel paints a portrait of a bourgeoisie that only knows how to hurt itself.
Novel originally published in Italian as «La vita interiore»; this Spanish edition, translated by Juan Moreno, belongs to the Novelistas del día collection.
For readers of twentieth-century European fiction and social criticism novels, as well as followers of Alberto Moravia's work.
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.
