Böcker av Alberto Moravia

Alberto Moravia was a major figure in the 20th Century Italian Literature. His novels written on modern sexuality, social self-intimacy, alienation, and existentialism had become the message of neo-realism in European literature. This legendary legend of his lifetime was proposed thirteen times for the Nobel Prize between 1949 and 1965. His novel La Noia is the story of a painter unable to find meaning either in love or work. Written in 1960, this novel was made into a movie by Damiano Damiani in 1963. Next year the movie was released in the USA in the name of "The Empty Canvas" and made Moravia world famous. The appeal of the writing was so intense that in 1998 Cedric Kahn again made it into a movie titled "L ' Ennui". This book Shunya Chitrapata is an Odia translation of the book "The Empty Canvas."ଇତାଲୀୟ ସାହିତ୍ୟିକ ଆଲବର୍ଟୋ ମୋରାଭିଆଙ୍କ ରଚିତ La Noia ( Boredom) ପୁସ୍ତକ ବିଶ୍ଵ ସାହିତ୍ୟରେ ଏକ କ୍ଲାସିକ ମାନ୍ୟତା ପ୍ରାପ୍ତ ଉପନ୍ୟାସ । ଆଧୁନିକ ଯୌନତା, ସାମାଜିକ ଆତ୍ମନ୍ତରଣ ଏବଂ ଅସ୍ତିତ୍ଵବାଦୀ ଉଦ୍ଭଟତାକୁ ନେଇ ଲିଖିତ ତାଙ୍କର ଉପନ୍ୟାସ ଗୁଡିକ ୟୁରୋପୀୟ ସାହିତ୍ୟରେ ନବ୍ୟ-ବାସ୍ତବବାଦ ଏବଂ ଅସ୍ତିତ୍ଵବାଦର ବାର୍ତ୍ତାବହ ହେଇ ଆସିଥିଲା । ନିଜ ଜୀବନ କାଳରେ କିମ୍ବଦନ୍ତୀରେ ପରିଣତ ହୋଇଥିବା ଏହି ଔପନ୍ୟାସିକ ନୋବେଲ ପୁରସ୍କାର ପାଇଁ ତେରଥର ପ୍ରସ୍ତାବିତ ହୋଇଥିଲେ । ୧୯୬୩ ମସିହାରେ ତାଙ୍କର ଏହି 'ଲା ନୋଇଆ' ଉପନ୍ୟାସ ଡାମିଆନୋ ଡାମିଆନିଙ୍କ ଦ୍ବାରା ଚଳଚ୍ଚିତ୍ରରେ ପରିବେଶିତ ହୋଇଥିଲା ଏବଂ ୧୯୬୪ ମସିହାରେ ତାହା The Empty Canvas ନାମରେ ଆମେରିକାରେ ମୁକ୍ତିଲାଭ କରି ମୋରାଭିଆଙ୍କୁ ବିଶ୍ଵପ୍ରସିଦ୍ଧି ଆଣିଦେଲା । ଏ ଲେଖାର ଆବେଦନ ଏଭଳି ତୀବ୍ର ଥିଲା ଯେ ୧୯୯୮ ମସିହାରେ ସେଡ୍ରିକ କାହ୍ନ ଏହାକୁ ପୁନର୍ବାର "L' Ennui" ନାମକ ଏକ ଚଳଚ୍ଚିତ୍ରରେ ରୂପାନ୍ତରିତ କରିଥିଲେ । 'ଶୂନ୍ୟ ଚିତ୍ରପଟ' ଉପନ୍ୟାସଟି 'The Empty Canvas'ର ଓଡ଼ିଆ ଭାଷାନ୍ତର ।

Contempt is a brilliant and unsettling work by one of the revolutionary masters of modern European literature. All the qualities for which Alberto Moravia is justly famous—his cool clarity of expression, his exacting attention to psychological complexity and social pretension, his still-striking openness about sex—are evident in this story of a failing marriage. Contempt (which was to inspire Jean-Luc Godard's no-less-celebrated film) is an unflinching examination of desperation and self-deception in the emotional vacuum of modern consumer society.

The novels that the great Italian writer Alberto Moravia wrote in the years following the World War II represent an extraordinary survey of the range of human behavior in a fragmented modern society. Boredom, the story of a failed artist and pampered son of a rich family who becomes dangerously attached to a young model, examines the complex relations between money, sex, and imperiled masculinity. This powerful and disturbing study in the pathology of modern life is one of the masterworks of a writer whom as Anthony Burgess once remarked, was "always trying to get to the bottom of the human imbroglio."
