Description
In Luigi Pirandello's thought-provoking novel, One, No One and One Hundred Thousand, the protagonist, Vitangelo Moscarda, undergoes a profound identity crisis after a casual remark from his wife. This sets him on a journey of self-discovery, questioning the nature of reality, identity, and the multifaceted perceptions others have of him. Through a series of philosophical musings and encounters with various characters, Moscarda grapples with the fragmented nature of the self and the illusions that shape our understanding of the world. — Luigi Pirandello (1867-1936) was an Italian dramatist, novelist, poet, and short story writer. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1934 for his “bold and ingenious revival of dramatic and scenic art.” Pirandello's works often explore the complex relationship between reality and illusion, as well as the nature of identity and the human condition.
