Bøger af Luigi Pirandello

Luigi Pirandello [28 June 1867 - 10 December 1936) was an Italian dramatist, novelist, and short story writer awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1934, for his "bold and brilliant renovation of the drama and the stage". Pirandello's works include novels, hundreds of short stories, and about 40 plays, some of which are written in Sicilian. Pirandello's tragic farces are often seen as forerunners for Theatre of the Absurd.

"During his sojourn, the Maestro kept a notebook in which he recorded everything that caught his eye, from the natives' peculiar manners and dialect to the fast-changing scenery on his walks along picturesque trails. These notes and impressions gave way to poems, illustrations, and storylines, all merging into a seemingly experimental text encompassing graphic art, fiction, and autobiography. The Coazze Notebook, as it came to be known, is a compendium of literary criticism, illuminating and emotionally charged personal reflections, vernacular expressions, and sharply observed geographical descriptions. The notes are fragmentary, and occasionally embellished, but they shed light on Pirandello's mode of thought and, in particular, how the ideas he gathered from real life were incorporated into his writing."-From the Introduction by Lisa Sarti

Six strangers turn up in a rehearsal room and demand that their story be acted out by the assembled company. As the actors perform, the increasingly gruesome story becomes frighteningly real.

Six Characters in Search of an Author (1921) is a metatheatrical drama by Luigi Pirandello. Viewed as an important work of absurdist literature, the play was a critical failure when it was first staged in Rome. Revised by its author and bolstered by successful performances in New York City, Six Characters in Search of an Author has been recognized as a pioneering examination of the nature of creativity, the relationship of the director and actors to the work of art, and the psychological stress associated with staging a theatrical production. While preparing to rehearse a new play by director Luigi Pirandello, a theatre company is interrupted with the arrival of six strangers on set. After a moment of frustration and confusion, the director is told that they are six unfinished characters whose story cannot be told without his intervention. The Father, Mother, Son, Stepdaughter, Boy, and Child refuse to leave, forcing the director to convince his actors to help them fulfill their wish. As the story begins to take shape, the characters exert more and more control over the set and the participation of the other actors, soon overtaking the director entirely. Strange and compelling, Six Characters in Search of an Author is a unique play which saw resistance from critics and theatergoers for one reason only: its methods forced them to question the nature of reality itself. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Luigi Pirandellös Six Characters in Search of an Author is a classic work of Italian literature reimagined for modern readers.

Sulla scia de "e;Le mille e una notte"e; e del "e;Decameron"e; nasce "e;Novelle per un anno"e;, una raccolta di novelle che tocca gli apici della narrativa italiana del Novecento. Il relativismo pirandelliano si riflette in ogni racconto, ciascuno dei quali rappresenta un tassello di un insieme scomposto che unisce realismo, verismo e caos dell'imprevedibilita.Ambientati tra una Sicilia folcloristica e una Roma burocrate, questi piccoli gioielli della letteratura italiana riprendono le tematiche chiave della poetica di Pirandello, tra cui la maschera e la follia. Alcuni di questi racconti sono divenuti soggetto di opere teatrali. Tra i piu famosi ricordiamo "e;La giara"e;, "e;Il treno ha fischiato"e; e "e;Ciaula scopre la luna"e;.-

Puo un naso storto scatenare una crisi d'identita? Se ti chiami Vitangelo Moscarda allora si. Tutto ha inizio con un commento da parte della moglie, che gli fa notare come il suo naso penda un pochino verso destra, una cosa a cui Vitangelo non aveva mai fatto caso. A questo punto, l'uomo comincia a domandarsi quanti possano essere gli aspetti della sua vita percepiti diversamente dagli altri. E cosi nella sua mente scatta qualcosa, una valanga di dubbi e insicurezze che lo porteranno a compiere gesti assurdi e improbabili, volti a confrontare la percezione che lui ha di se con quella che hanno i suoi conoscenti. Un viaggio nella psiche di un personaggio complesso e straordinario, un romanzo dove Pirandello da sfogo a tutta la sua creativita.-

Così è (se vi pare) è un'opera teatrale di Luigi Pirandello, tratta dalla novella La signora Frola e il signor Ponza, suo genero. L'opera è incentrata su un tema molto caro a Pirandello: l'inconoscibilità del reale, di cui ognuno può dare una propria interpretazione che non può coincidere con quella degli altri. Si genera così un relativismo delle forme, delle convenzioni e dell'esteriorità, un'impossibilità a conoscere la verità assoluta che è ben rappresentata dal personaggio Laudisi. CONTIENE le edizioni integrali del 1918 e del 1925.
