Curzio Malaparte (Malaparte is an antonym of Bonaparte, lit. "evil share") is the pseudonym of Italian writer and journalist Kurt Erich Zuckert (1898-1957), an uncomfortable classic of Italian literature of the last century.
"Skin" continues the description of the horrors of the Second World War, begun in the novel "Kaput" (1944). If the first part of this peculiar dilogy was about the Eastern Front, here the action takes place at the very end of the war in Naples, and the place of the advancing parts of the Wehrmacht were taken by American paratroopers. The novel was first published in Paris in 1949 in French, after the Italian edition (1950), the author was accused of anti-patriotism and immorality, and "Skin" was introduced by the Vatican in the index of banned books. After the film adaptation of the novel by Liliana Cavani in 1981 (Malaparte played by Marcello Mastroianni), the author began to return to worldwide popularity. You are holding in your hands the first complete Russian edition of one of the forgotten masterpieces of the XX century.
