«Donna Mimma» is the collection of thirteen short stories by Luigi Pirandello, published by Newton Compton Editori in paperback (98 pages, in Italian).
Thirteen stories in which Pirandello shows the contradiction, the elusive and the unpredictable nature of reality: characters of apparent normality, deprived of certainties and consistency, live at the mercy of a mocking fate. The story that gives the volume its title presents donna Mimma, before whom young and old feel like children.
This 1995 edition is part of the «Tascabili economici Newton» series and corresponds to the ninth volume of the «Novelle per un anno» cycle. Complete edition edited by Italo Borzì and Maria Argenziano.
For readers of classic Italian fiction who appreciate short stories and period settings with a modern look at emotions, fears and desires.
Luigi Pirandello was an Italian dramatist, novelist, poet, and short story writer most noted for his plays. He was awarded the 1934 Nobel Prize in Literature "for his bold and ingenious revival of dramatic and scenic art". 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 of the Theatre of the Absurd.
