«Il fu Mattia Pascal» is the novel by Luigi Pirandello, published by Feltrinelli in paperback (261 pages, in Italian).
After being presumed dead, Mattia Pascal seizes the chance to start a new life under another identity. He soon discovers that this freedom comes at a price and that happiness cannot be achieved by changing one's name; Pirandello's narrative delves into identity, alienation, and the meaning of existence in an absurd world.
It belongs to Feltrinelli's Universale Economica I Classici collection; the edition includes an introduction by Silvio Perrella and is edited by Antonio Gagliardi.
For readers of classic fiction and philosophy, with a regular presence in schools and universities.
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.
