Don Lollò Zirafa, a finicky Sicilian landowner with a heavy hand toward his employees, watches over the jar he has bought for the olive harvest. When the vessel breaks, the incident unleashes a comic conflict mixing pride, justice, and the peasants' cunning. A brief narrative with a humorous tone about rural Italy.

For Swedish readers who want to glimpse a Nobel Prize winner's short story in a brief edition, with humor and rural atmosphere.
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.
