"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
Partly true and partly fiction, Kaputt is based on Malparte's experiences as a journalist following the Fascist armies invading the Soviet Union...Malaparte's grotesquely baroque stories do not need to be true. They speak honestly about the absurd horrors of war.
-The Times [UK]
Frank, glamorous and gruesome, Kaputt delivers a unique insider's verdict on the damned elite of a damnable system.
-The Independent [UK]
...a transcendent work about the admixture of high culture, bestial depravity and human sadism. Part autobiography and part fiction, it captures seemingly unfathomable history. No work has ever revealed more about the murderous blend of zeal and indifference that is fanaticism. Simultaneously mythic and wholly human, Kaputt haunts the reader forever."About this title" may belong to another edition of this title.

Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Curzio Malaparte was a disaffected supporter of Mussolini with a taste for danger and high living. Sent by an Italian paper during World War II to cover the fighting on the Eastern Front, Malaparte secretly wrote this terrifying report from the abyss, which became an international bestseller when it was published after the war. Telling of the siege of Leningrad, of glittering dinner parties with Nazi leaders, and of trains disgorging bodies in war-devastated Romania, Malaparte paints a picture of humanity at its most depraved.Kaputt is an insider's dispatch from the world of the enemy that is as hypnotically fascinating as it is disturbing. Reveals the horrors of war from within the heart of corruption. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. Seller Inventory # 9781590171479
