L'esclusa is a novel by the Italian playwright and novelist Luigi Pirandello, published in 1901. The story follows Marta Ajala, a virtuous woman who is expelled from her community and her marriage due to false accusations of adultery. Through the narrative, Pirandello explores themes of social hypocrisy, the condition of women in society, and the relativity of truth. The novel offers a scathing critique of the social conventions and moral norms of the time, presenting a complex vision of human nature and the injustices that can arise from prejudice and hasty judgment.
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.
