SynopsisVitangelo Moscarda (aka Geng ), 20-something son of a deceased banker father, discovers that his wife (and everyone else) sees him quite differently from how he sees himself, sending him down a precipitous path to obsession and madness. He comes to a painful realization that leads him to totally rethink his life and make some drastic changes. Is he truly crazy? Or perhaps more sane than anyone else?Nobel prize-winning Luigi Pirandello's classic novel on the nature of identity brims with sly humor, compelling drama, and skillfully depicted, oddly modern characters-all capped with timeless insight into the fragile human psyche.This new, modern translation gives the 1926 Italian classic a fresh, accessible American voice., Luigi Pirandello (1867-1936), world-renowned writer, is arguably best known in the US as a dramatist, particularly for the innovative "theatre within the theatre" aspect of his 1926 "Six Characters in Search of an Author" (Sei personaggi in cerca d'autore), which has been called a "technical tour de force" and is still considered an avant¿garde masterpiece. Rather prolific, Pirandello produced hundreds of short stories, several novels, and much poetry in addition to about 50 plays. He was awarded the 1934 Nobel Prize in Literature for "his almost magical power to turn psychological analysis into good theater." (He was also quite capable of turning psychological analysis into good prose, I might add.)
