La noia
La noia | Alberto Moravia
13 posts | 6 read | 1 reading | 6 to read
Considerato come il cardine di unideale trilogia iniziata con Gli indifferenti e conclusa con La vita interiore, La noia (1960) ci offre un ritratto profondo e spietato di un individuo senza strutture, senza appoggi, alienato dalla vita sociale. la storia del pittore borghese e sfaccendato Dino, assalito dalla noia verso tutto ci che lo circonda, una storia di crisi, di fallimenti, di delusioni. Dal conflitto con la madre, di cui disprezza i valori borghesi, al mancato sollievo che spera di trovare nella pittura, fino alla relazione con la giovane modella Cecilia, che vuole avere, dominare, svalutare, per poterla afferrare, Dino viene descritto nei suoi tre aspetti di artista, di uomo, di amante, finendo per scontrarsi inevitabilmente con la realt, una realt che cerca di superare ed evitare e che allo stesso tempo in modo tautologico gli si nega, come una coperta troppo corta. Una volta abbandonata larte, il sesso ed il denaro rimangono gli unici strumenti per entrare in contatto con il mondo, finch il sospetto di un tradimento non fa sprofondare Dino in una spirale di lucida follia.

It was nice to be in #NYRB world again. Dino , who‘s family‘s prosperity allows him to live a bohemian lifestyle, strives to be an artist.He is curious about the older artist in the building & his young model.When he feels he is failing, he is tempted to move home, his mother‘s attention drives him back to the simple studio.His boredom morphs into an existential crisis as his obsession with the model escalates.I was intrigued by it all.

With my Facebook and Twitter feeds full of #COVID19 news, I‘m avoiding them (only Litsy and Instagram are free of that stuff). And because I‘m avoiding them 4 the time being, I am realizing how much I use them throughout the day. Am also avoiding watching newscasts as well hence I‘m doing a Friends marathon on Netflix Canada.

Megabooks I‘m watching QVC right now. 5y
AmyG @Megabooks Ha...I watch QVC as my backround noise. They‘re always happy on there. And shoppig! 5y

Day 11: Dino‘s #misunderstood for sure, first by himself 🤷🏻‍♂️ then it‘s hard to say whether even more so by everyone else, & then only if because he so misunderstands them 🤔 Still, the biggest misunderstanding of all are his convictions about young Cecilia, changing & overtaking him throughout.

Not to worry! Ultimately leads to a certain semblance of something vital understood in the end 🌳

Can't get myself to read Big Little Lies today. Hence I'm bored

Riveted_Reader_Melissa That's how I started reading more than one book at a time....on the days when my big read/serious read was just too much, read your for fun read instead. 👍 7y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa ...or take a break and watch a good movie... 7y
melissajayne @Riveted_Reader_Melissa part of it is that I've been depressed for about a week and a half 7y

Riveted_Reader_Melissa @melissajayne Sorry to hear that, sometimes a good distraction helps, sometimes we're just too down to be distracted. Have you tried the adult coloring book trend? Sometimes I like that when I'm feeling low. 7y
melissajayne @Riveted_Reader_Melissa I do have colouring book. 7y
melissajayne @Riveted_Reader_Melissa I'm getting Fabre-Castell pencil crayons in a few days. 7y
CatLass007 @melissajayne I, too, suffer from depression. I find audiobooks a helpful new trend in my life. 7y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa @melissajayne @CatLass007 Yes! That‘s exactly what I do, a fun audiobook or music and color. 7y
CatLass007 @melissajayne How are you feeling today? 7y
melissajayne @CatLass007 groggy; just got up 7y

I would really like to DNF this lecture on computer forensics. But I can't, so I'm making random observations...like the fact that my La Croix can coordinates quite nicely with my analog notebook (yes, I'm taking notes old school style in my tech seminar) and my desktop.

Alfoster 😍😍😍I'm still old school too!👏👏👏 8y
Maike I'm studying computer science and I always take notes the old school way 😄👏🏻 8y
bookwrm526 Multiple studies show that taking notes long hand leads to more effective long term learning :) 8y
