Meer over het boek

Renowned for his innovative plays, Luigi Pirandello, an Italian literary giant, transformed psychological analysis into compelling theatre, earning the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1934. His extensive body of work includes novels, hundreds of short stories, and approximately 40 plays, with some written in Sicilian. His tragic farces laid the groundwork for the Theatre of the Absurd. Notably, his first significant work, Marta Ajala, emerged in 1893, followed by his first short story collection, Amori Senza Amore, in 1894.
