«Sei personaggi in cerca d'autore-Enrico IV» is the theater volume by Luigi Pirandello, published by Mondadori in paperback (236 pages, in Italian).
«Sei personaggi in cerca d'autore» presents five characters who ask a theater director to give shape to their stories, abandoned by their author; stage fiction is their only salvation. «Enrico IV» concerns a man who, after an accident, believes he is the medieval emperor and must sustain the fiction even upon regaining his reason.
It is number 22 in the Oscar classici moderni collection and features an edition edited by Roberto Alonge.
Suitable for students of literature and theater, and for those approaching the classics of Italian theater.
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.
