«Viejos y jóvenes» is the novel by Luigi Pirandello published by RBA in hardcover (544 pages, in Spanish).
Set in post-unification Sicily, it portrays the crisis of a generation: the old no longer uphold the ideals of progress they once defended, and the young lose themselves between mercantilism and illusions. Pirandello adds autobiographical echoes and the decline of Agrigento to this bitter vision of collective failure.
The novel's original title is «I vecchi e i giovani» and its Spanish translation is by María Teresa Navarro Salazar.
For readers of classic Italian fiction and historical fiction. Pirandello received the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1934.
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.
