Professor Luigi Pirandello, Nicholas Wright (Adapted by)
This translation of Luigi Pirandello's Vestire gli ignudi brilliantly illustrates the theatricalist mode Pirandello invented for dramatizing multiple points of view simultaneously. Characters use the same vocabulary?of betrayals, memories, and dreams?in slightly differing tonalities. As they unwittingly echo each other, they come to be seen as ...

One of the 20th century's greatest literary artists and winner of the Nobel Prize in 1934, Luigi Pirandello wrote the novel "Her Husband" in 1911, before he produced any of the well-known plays with which his name is most often associated today.

Enrico IV

by
Professor Luigi Pirandello, Robert Brustein
Pirandello's savage comedy from 1921 reflects the warp of European reality after World War I and advances his philosophical argument that reality is never a rock certainty, only a subjective creation. Mr. Brustein's Enrico IV adopts a modern idiom with graceful unobtrusiveness (New York Times).

Professor Luigi Pirandello
Suicide, the act of killing oneself voluntarily and intentionally, is clearly one of the most important themes developed by Pirandello during his long literary career. Although he never focused on self-destruction as an end in itself, he made ample use of it to dramatise his tragic view of the human condition. Indeed, this theme recurs with ...

Professor Luigi Pirandello, Andrew Moore (Editor), Elise Lathrop (Translator)
Luigi Pirandello (1867-1936) appeared first as poet, but later "found himself" in writing humorous tales, novels and especially dramas. To him man appears as a creature more miserable than grotesque, eternally made sport of by the irony of fate. In 1934, Pirandello was awarded the Nobel Prize for literature.
