Recommend the novel "Indifferent People" Everyone is indifferent, and the reasons for their indifference are different

Today, I would like to recommend a foreign literature "Indifferent People" produced by Reader Culture and published by Jiangsu Phoenix Literature and Art Publishing House.

"The Indifferent Man" is the famous work of the Italian writer Alberto Moravia, which was the first existentialist novel published in Europe at the age of 22, after which the author published "Roman Woman", "The Same Stream", "Contempt" and other tomes, known as the most important neo-realist novel master in Italy in the twentieth century, together with Calvino and Xia Xia, known as the three masters of modern Italian literature.

Using cool tones as the background color of the cover, the expressionless person and the mask of various expressions form a sharp contrast, once again deepening the indifference from the inside out.

"The Indifferent Man" is about the mental torture of young people in high society, but he finds that the emotions he can express are only coldness, his pain, and his doubts.

Taking "Caral came in" as the starting point, first looking at her dress from a distance, and then describing her from close up, the hesitant look and mysterious gaze just show that she is close enough to see clearly. Immediately after the author's camera turned, we saw Leo sitting on the sofa, the light should be bright, the author used only one lamp here to limit the brightness, which just led to the "gray" below, because other places can not be illuminated. Again, this is a hint.

Caral did not listen to Leo sitting by him, but stood by the lamp. She looked at what was on the table, through the author's presentation of "eyes hanging low and lips closed," without even looking up when she spoke. We think she's focused on pointing out the toy with her hand, but it's not.

Through Leo's movements: answering, lighting a cigarette, and leaning forward, a little unconcerned and attracted again, the author uses a slip of the line to indicate that Leo is close to Caral, while "carelessly" lifts Caral's skirt, and to Caral's question, he answers, an adjective "cold", indicating his attitude.

The author constantly gives people hints through the description of the environment, and from the language and action of the characters, he is also conveying a sense of violation, that is, seemingly enthusiastic, but in fact, indifferent, an illusion.

His attitude was diametrically opposed to his behavior, and the more fiery his behavior became, the more seductive and confusing his language became, and when Caral's mother came over, how correct his attitude was, how normal his words were. This is all done very well on the surface, and it is not at all obvious what he did a second ago.

"Indifferent Man" has a depraved habit and is branded by that era, while the sharp writing is about love, but the analysis is about people's thoughts, showing a very representative symptom of the times - apathy.

The hardcover "The Indifferent Man" is one of the book series of readers' culture In Moravian culture, and there is also a book of "Contempt" in the series, which can be checked out by friends who like it.
