Curzio Malaparte was a disaffected supporter of Mussolini
with a taste for danger and high living. Sent by an Italian
paper during World War II to cover the fighting on the
Eastern Front, Malaparte secretly wrote this terrifying
report from the abyss, which became an international
bestseller when it was published after the war. Telling of the siege of Leningrad, of glittering dinner
parties with Nazi leaders, and of trains disgorging bodies
in war-devastated Romania, Malaparte paints a picture of
humanity at its most depraved. Kaputt is an insider's dispatch from the world of the enemy
that is as hypnotically fascinating as it is disturbing.
