Produktbeschreibung
One, None and One Hundred Thousand is a 1926 novel by the Italian writer Luigi Pirandello. It is Pirandello's last novel; his son later said that it took "more than 15 years" to write. In an autobiographical letter, published in 1924, the author refers to this work as the "...bitterest of all, profoundly humoristic, about the decomposition of life: Moscarda one, no one and one hundred thousand." The pages of the unfinished novel remained on Pirandello's desk for years and he would occasionally take out extracts and insert them into other works only to return, later, to the novel in a sort of uninterrupted compositive circle. Finally finished, Uno, Nessuno e Centomila came out in episodes between December 1925 and June 1926 in the magazine Fiera Letteraria.
Autorenporträt
Luigi Pirandello was an influential Italian dramatist, novelist, poet, and short story writer, best known for his pioneering work in the theater. Born on June 28, 1867, in Agrigento, Italy, Pirandello's writing was deeply influential in the realm of modern drama. His works often explored complex themes such as the nature of identity, the relationship between reality and illusion, and the blurred boundaries between art and life. Pirandello's distinctive approach to theater and narrative earned him the 1934 Nobel Prize in Literature, awarded "for his bold and ingenious revival of dramatic and scenic art." He was married to Antonietta Portulano, with whom he had three children: Stefano, Fausto, and Lietta. Pirandello's legacy extends beyond literature, with his works inspiring numerous film adaptations, including Kaos and The Former Mattia Pascal. He passed away on December 10, 1936, in Rome, at the age of 69. Pirandello's profound influence on theater continues to resonate today, with his exploration of existential questions and theatrical experimentation leaving a lasting mark on the field.
