«El mantón negro y otro relato» is the collection of short stories by Luigi Pirandello published by El País Aguilar in paperback (80 pages, in Spanish).
It brings together two stories. In «El mantón negro», Eleonora is forced to marry Gerlando, a much older peasant, and the difference in social standing marks their relationship. In «La renta vitalicia», Marabito receives a thousand lire a year from the Maltés for his estate for as long as he lives; the Maltés believes he has made a good deal given Marabito’s advanced age.
The volume, published in April 1996, belongs to Aguilar’s Relato corto collection.
For readers of short stories who want to approach the narrative of Luigi Pirandello.
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.
