«L'umorismo» is Luigi Pirandello's essay on literary theory, published by Newton Compton Editori in paperback (100 pages, in Italian).
In this 1908 essay, Pirandello defines humor as an art form born from the «feeling of the opposite»: reflection merges with emotion and exposes contradictions without reconciling them. He champions spontaneity and expressive freedom against academic tradition, as a way to understand the mobility of reality.
Complete edition (edizione integrale) prepared by Maria Argenziano, in the Tascabili Economici Newton collection.
Useful for students of literary theory and for those wishing to delve into Pirandello's essayistic work.
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.
