«Il fu Mattia Pascal» is the novel by Luigi Pirandello, published by Mondadori in paperback (255 pages, in Italian).
Mattia Pascal, tired of his provincial life and family conflicts, escapes and arrives in Montecarlo, where his luck changes. After being mistakenly declared dead, he decides to start over as Adriano Meis. His attempt to free himself from social conventions clashes with the difficulty of sustaining an invented identity.
The Italian edition of February 1988 belongs to Mondadori's Oscar classici moderni collection; the novel was originally published in 1904.
Will appeal to readers of European classics, students of Italian literature, and those seeking novels with a philosophical background.
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.
