Paperback. Zustand: Good. This special one-volume edition features five great plays by one of the most celebrated and fascinating dramatists of the twentieth century.   Pirandello, awarded the Nobel Prize in 1934, was the playwright par excellence of the conflict between illusion and reality.

Zustand: Good. Winner of the Nobel Prize in 1934, Luigi Pirandello was one of the most original and powerful dramatists of his time-the playwright par excellence of the conflict between illusion and reality. His plays dramatize with force and eloquence the loneliness and isolation of the individual both from society and from himself. In Six Characters in Search of an Author, his greatest work, these themes are played out with characteristic brilliance. First performed in 1921, the play concerns six living characters-family members embroiled in their own human drama-who come to a theater and demand that the manager and his actors stage their life story. Filled with both humor and despair, Six Characters in Search of an Author is Pirandello's most extraordinary achievement-as it explores the fundamentally absurd and tragic nature of the human condition. This Signet Classic edition includes an introduction by Eric Bentley, the widely acclaimed writer, translator, and international theater authority.…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. 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.…
