«La tinaja» is an illustrated short story by Luigi Pirandello published by Gadir Editorial in 2007 in paperback (71 pages, in Spanish).
A stubborn, litigious man, Don Lollò Zirafa, finds the jar he has just bought broken and asks Uncle Dima Licasi, inventor of an infallible putty, to fix it. From then on, the owner's pride and the repairman's misunderstandings turn the scene into a nearly fantastic comic tangle.
«La tinaja» comes from the series «Novelle per un anno», where it holds the eleventh position. The Spanish edition includes a translation by Elena Martínez and illustrations by Carla Olivé.
Thanks to its brevity and humorous tone, the story suits all ages and works as a gateway to Luigi Pirandello.
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.
