The Profile

Italian dramatist, novelist and short‑story writer. Nobel Prize in Literature (1934). A central figure of modernist theatre and fiction, known for explorations of identity, relativism, and the masks imposed by society.

Luigi Pirandello (1867–1936), Italian; Nobel Prize in Literature in 1934; major works include Il fu Mattia Pascal, Uno, nessuno e centomila, Enrico IV, Sei personaggi in cerca d'autore, and the Novelle per un anno project.

The reviews spotlight Pirandello’s obsession with identity, social masks, and the disintegration of the self. Major novels like Il fu Mattia Pascal and Uno, nessuno e centomila are praised for their philosophical depth and narrative clarity. Lo scialle nero highlights the power and variety of the Novelle per un anno. L’ Esclusa is read as a sharp portrait of social exclusion and fate’s irony.
