Moravia is not simply painting the portrait of an age but also coming to grips through his art with the great questions of all ages - the erotic, love, death, and the purposes of life. 1934 recapitulates the major themes of his art and at the same time takes us beyond them.

To begin with I'd like to talk about my wife. To love means, in addition to many other things, to delight in gazing upon and observing the beloved. --From Conjugal Love When Silvio, a rich Italian dilettante, and his beautiful wife agree to move to the country and forgo sex so that he will have the energy to write a successful novel, something is bound to go wrong: Silvio's literary ambitions are far too big for his second-rate talent, and his...

Quando Alberto Moravia cominciò a scrivere questo capolavoro, nel 1925, non aveva ancora compiuto diciott'anni. Intorno a lui l'ltalia, alla quale Mussolini aveva imposto la dittatura, stava dimenticando lo scoppio d'indignazione e di ribellione suscitato nel 1924 dal delitto Matteotti e scivolava verso il consenso e i plebisciti per il fascismo.
