Kozma examines the use of metaphor and simile in the works of the twentieth-century Italian fiction writer Alberto Moravia, whose novels include Gli indiferenti (1929) and La Romana (1947). She provides a comprehensive description of types of imagery in Moravia's work, organizing this compendium into a series of categories such as images of thought, nature, food, and the human body.
