Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
A masterful collection by a literary giant of the past century, rendered by one of our most esteemed Italian translators'A fine sampling of Pirandellos world, convincingly translated by Jewiss, who negotiates the problems of bringing his vivid, colloquial prose and effortless storytelling into English with great skill.Tim Parks, New York Review of BooksRegarded as one of Europes great modernists, Pirandello was also a master storyteller, a fine observer of the drama of daily life with a remarkable ear for dialogue and a keen sense of the crushing burdens of class, gender, and social conventions. Set in the authors birthplace of Sicily, where the arid terrain and isolated villages map the fragile interior world of his characters, and in Rome, where modern life threatens centuriesold traditions, these original stories are sun baked with the deep lore of Italian folktales. In The Jar, a broken earthenware pot pits its owner, a quarrelsome landholder, against a clever inventor of a mysterious glue. The Dearly Departed tells the story of a young widow and her new husband on their honeymoon, haunted at every turn by the sly visage of the deceased. The scorned lover, the intransigent bureaucrat, the lonely mother, the wretched peasantPirandellos characters expose the human condition in all its fatalism, injustice, and raw beauty. For lovers of Calvino and Pasolini, these picturesque stories preserve a memory of an Italy long gone, but one whose recurring concerns still speak to us today.
