Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - 'The Time of Indifference' is a groundbreaking work of psychological realism and a seminal debut that explores the spiritual and moral paralysis of a middle-class Italian family. Set in Rome during the late 1920s, the narrative centers on the Ardengo family, who find themselves trapped in a cycle of emotional stagnation and social pretense. As the manipulative Leo Merumeci schemes to seize the family's remaining assets while maintaining an affair with the matriarch, Maria Grazia, her children, Carla and Michele, struggle with a profound sense of indifference-a crippling inability to truly care or take decisive action against their own degradation.Often cited as one of the earliest existentialist novels, Alberto Moravia's work provides a stark portrait of characters who are acutely aware of their own hypocrisy yet remain powerless to change their circumstances. Through sharp dialogue and keen social observation, 'The Time of Indifference' captures a world where genuine passion has been replaced by habit and morality by a desperate need for status. This landmark of 20th-century literature remains a powerful study of the human condition and the suffocating weight of societal expectations.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Mass Market Paperback. Condition: Very Good Plus. First Printing. Moravia, Alberto. THE TIME OF INDIFFERENCE. NY: Signet (S1213), 1955 . First Paperback Edition, first printing. INSCRIBED BY COVER ARTIST JAMES AVATI on the title page in black ink. A Very Good Plus copy, with a touch of edgewear, but still square and solid, showing Avati's cover art uncreased with colors still sharp. James Avati (1912-2005) was often called "The Rembrandt" of 1940s and 1950s paperback illustration. Avati's brilliance in capturing human feeling: tension or fear, suggestiveness or lust, avarice or suspicion, compassion or devotion was unrivaled during the golden age of paperback illustration. He created a visual narrrative that brought characters' tragedies and yearnings to life with a tough-minded gritty realism that put Norman Rockwell to shame. We were fortunate to acquire a small cache of his famous Signet first printing covers which were signed by him at his home in Petaluma, California a half-dozen years before he passed away. To the best of our knowledge, he never signed any other books for which he provided illustrations other than the ones which were acquired on this one occasion. Please search the keywords James Avati to see if any other of his signed copies still remains in our stock. THE TIME OF INDIFFERENCE was one of Italian author Moravia's finest novels and the cover blurb reminds us that he was "one of the best writers in the world today" (Time magazine) and that this particular novel was "a very exciting complex book" (The New Yorker). James Avati (illustrator). Signed by Author(s).…
