Product Description

Winner of the 1934 Nobel Prize for literature, Luigi Pirandello (1867 - 1936) is best known for such landmark plays as Six Characters in Search of an Author.One of the great literary figures of the twentieth century, he also distinguished himself in a vast outpouring of short stories, poetry, novels, and essays.The stories often provided the seeds for later novels and plays. The 11 tales included in this collection are among his best.Presented in the original Italian with excellent new English translations on facing pages, they offer students of Italian language and literature a unique learning aid and a treasury of superb fiction by a modern master. The stories range in time from the earliest known tale, Little Hut, a study of rural passions written in 1884, to Mrs. Frola and Mr. Ponza, Her Son-in-Law, a quintessential Pirandello story about the relativity of truth and the impossibility of penetrating other people's minds.Published in 1917, it formed the basis of Pirandello's first major play, Right You Are If You Think You Are.In addition to these narratives, the volume also includes Citrons from Sicily, With Other Eyes, A Voice, The Fly, The Oil Jar, It's Not to be Taken Seriously, Think it Over, Giacomino!, A Character's Tragedy, and A Prancing Horse. Accompanying the stories are a biographical and critical introduction to Pirandello and his work, brief introductions to each of the stories and explanatory footnotes.
