A review by lig
Contempt by Alberto Moravia

5.0

"...And I realized that a man who is despised neither can nor ought to find peace as long as contempt endures. He may say, like the sinners at the Last Judgment: 'Mountains, fall on us, and hills, cover us'; but contempt follows him even into the remotest hiding-place, for it has entered into his spirit and he bears it about with him wherever he may go."
