«L'esclusa» is Luigi Pirandello's first novel, published by Rizzoli in paperback (252 pages, in Italian).
The novel follows Marta Ajala, a young married woman expelled from her home by her husband Rocco Pentagora, convinced that she has been unfaithful. Pirandello dismantles the false objectivity of his characters' convictions and shows the inconsistency of their reality, blending the tragic and the comic.
The work, written in 1893 and originally published in 1901, is presented with an introduction by Gianni Turchetta in the BUR Grandi Classici collection.
A key read for anyone wanting to discover Pirandello's beginnings and the transition from the nineteenth-century novel to twentieth-century narrative.
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.
