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.

Mass Market Paperback. Condition: Very Good Plus. James Avati (illustrator). 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). Signed by Author(s).

paperback. Condition: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.
