His novels explored matters of modern sexuality, social alienation and existentialism. Moravia is best known for his debut novel Gli indifferenti (1929) and for the anti-fascist novel Il Conformista (The Conformist), the basis for the film The Conformist (1970) directed by Bernardo Bertolucci. Other novels of his adapted for the cinema are Agostino, filmed with the same title by Mauro Bolognini in 1962; Il disprezzo (A Ghost at Noon or Contempt), filmed by Jean-Luc Godard as Le Mépris (Contempt 1963); La Noia (Boredom), filmed with that title by Damiano Damiani in 1963 and released in the US as The Empty Canvas in 1964 and La ciociara, filmed by Vittorio de Sica as Two Women (1960).

사랑의 변주곡
Short Story
첫 번째 에피소드인 "나폴리의 아델리나"는 놀고 먹으면서 교도소나 들락거리는 남자와 결혼한 아델리나가 남편을 먹여 살리기 위해 밀수입 담배를 판매하는 내용을 다루고 있다. 아델리나는 수사관들이 수사망을 좁혀올 때마다 임신을 하여 체포의 위기를 모면한다. 1960년대 이탈리아에서는 임신한 여성을 체포하는 것을 법으로 금지하고 있었기 때문. 덕분에 일곱명의 아이들을 갖게 되었지만 더 이상 아이를 낳을 기력이 없는 남편으로 인해 아델리나는 위기에 처하게 된다. 할 수 없이 아델리나는 임신한 것처럼 배를 불룩하게 위장해 위기를 모면해 보려고 하지만 그녀를 체포하기 위해 혈안이 되어 있는 수사관들이 가만있을리 없다. 두 번째 에피소드인 "안나"는 기업가의 응석받이 아내의 이야기를 담고 있다. 물질적으로는 풍요로웠지만 얽매인 듯한 생활에 신물이 난 안나는 남편의 구속에서 벗어나고 싶은 욕망에 시달리고, 그 욕망은 스포츠카를 부수는 것으로 표출된다. 세 번째 에피소드인 "마라"는 로마에서 고급 콜걸 생활을 하던 마라가 순진한 신학도를 만나 사랑에 빠지게 되지만 볼로냐에서 온 마라의 기둥서방으로 인해 신학도가 위험에 처하게 될까봐 그를 져버린다는 내용을 담고 있다.

경멸
Novel
