Antonio, the local barber who comes every morning to shave Silvio, sparks off this dangerously combustible situation when Leda accuses him of trying to molest her. Silvio obstinately refuses to dismiss him, and the quarrel and its shattering consequences put the couple's love to the test.<BR><BR>Alberto Moravia earned his international reputation with frank, finely-observed stories of love and sex at all levels of society. In this new English translation of <I>Conjugal Love</I>, he explores an imperiled relationship with his customary unadorned style, psychological penetration, and narrative art. 2529895 book 1947 L'amore coniugale total:48|5:11|4:20|3:14|2:2|1:1| 48 182 92 9 4 0 false false Tue Jan 27 00:28:40 -0800 2009 Fri Apr 24 09:58:08 -0700 2009 Conjugal Love takes place in the romantic and beautiful countryside of Tuscany, a place where passions are always aflame and love is consummated eternally, an ideal place for a writer and his...more...]]> 4 0 false false Fri Apr 10 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Tue Mar 31 21:40:10 -0700 2009 Fri Apr 10 17:16:07 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Thu Apr 09 21:34:22 -0700 2009 Thu Apr 09 21:35:43 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Fri Oct 31 11:52:43 -0700 2008 Fri Oct 31 11:55:26 -0700 2008 4 0 false false Sat Jul 19 08:52:24 -0700 2008 Thu Jul 24 14:12:45 -0700 2008 5 0 false false Thu May 01 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Sun Jan 06 22:45:56 -0800 2008 Wed Jun 04 06:50:09 -0700 2008 2 0 false false Fri Feb 16 12:08:56 -0800 2007 Fri Feb 16 12:09:25 -0800 2007 5 0 false false Mon Oct 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Tue Oct 21 04:30:22 -0700 2008 Tue Oct 21 04:33:42 -0700 2008 1 0 true false Tue Jul 29 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Sun Oct 26 10:46:22 -0700 2008 Sun Oct 26 10:47:15 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Thu Nov 12 23:30:28 -0800 2009 Thu Nov 12 23:30:28 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Wed Nov 11 17:37:58 -0800 2009 Wed Nov 11 17:37:58 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Mon Nov 09 13:06:57 -0800 2009 Mon Nov 09 13:06:57 -0800 2009 3 0 false false Fri Oct 30 23:03:25 -0700 2009 Wed Oct 14 12:24:42 -0700 2009 Fri Oct 30 23:03:25 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Sat Sep 26 01:43:41 -0700 2009 Sat Sep 26 01:43:41 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu Sep 24 01:41:25 -0700 2009 Thu Sep 24 01:41:25 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Mon Aug 31 16:36:35 -0700 2009 Mon Aug 31 16:36:35 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue Aug 04 16:53:22 -0700 2009 Tue Aug 04 16:53:31 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Mon Jul 27 07:53:41 -0700 2009 Mon Jul 27 07:53:41 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Sat Aug 08 11:04:47 -0700 2009 Fri Jul 24 18:55:04 -0700 2009 Sat Aug 08 11:04:47 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue Jul 21 11:04:39 -0700 2009 Tue Jul 21 11:04:39 -0700 2009 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=67144
