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.
Vitangelo Moscarda (aka Gengè), 20-something banker’s son, 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?
This new, modern translation gives the 1926 Italian classic a fresh, accessible American voice. $1.49 on Kindle.
