By Luigi Pirandello
Luigi Pirandello (1867-1936), master of style, appeared first as poet,
pure in style, severe in inspiration, but later "found himself" in writing
humorous tales, novels and especially dramas.
His humor, though at bottom sad and almost pessimistic, is not of a
quiet sort. To him man appears as a creature more miserable than
grotesque, eternally made sport of by the irony of fate.
Such is the philosophy in "Signora Speranza", one of the most
characteristic of his novellas.
In 1934 Pirandello was awarded the Nobel Prize for literature.
