«Il fu Mattia Pascal» is the novel by Luigi Pirandello, published by Azzurra Publishing in paperback (176 pages, in Italian).
Trapped in a gray life in a provincial town, Mattia Pascal discovers he has been declared dead. That news allows him to flee his former self: he changes city, adopts a false name, and starts a different existence. With black humor and irony, the novel reflects on identity and second chances.
It belongs to the Grandi classici della letteratura collection. The novel was originally published in 1904 and Luigi Pirandello received the Nobel Prize.
Aimed at students of Italian and readers interested in the classics of twentieth-century Italian literature.
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.
