Il fu Mattia Pascal is a novel by Italian writer Luigi Pirandello, published in 1904. The story follows Mattia Pascal, a man who, after being mistakenly declared dead, decides to assume a new identity to escape his previous life. However, he soon discovers that freedom and happiness are not as easy to achieve as he had imagined. Through the story of Mattia Pascal, Pirandello explores themes such as identity, freedom, loneliness, and the search for meaning in life.
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.
