Synopsis
While living an oppressive, provincial existence, Mattia Pascal learns that he has been mistakenly declared dead. Blessed with that rarest of opportunities - the chance to start an entirely new life - he moves to a new city under an assumed name, only to find this new "free" existence unbearable. Faking his own suicide, he returns to his hometown, where his wife has remarried and his job has been filled. Reduced to a sad walk-on part in his own life, the only role now left to him is that of the "late Mattia Pascal".

About the Author
Luigi Pirandello (1867-1936) was born in Sicily into a prosperous middle-class family. After studying at Palermo, Rome and Bonn Universities, he began to write, but when his father went bankrupt and his wife became ill, he considered suicide. Instead, he wrote this, the real beginning of his literary career. Today he is known for Six Characters in Search of an Author, numerous novels and short stories.

Free of ownership names, dates, addresses, notations, inscriptions, stamps, or labels. A handsome copy, structurally sound and tightly bound, showing a couple of minor, unobtrusive cosmetic imperfections. Bright and clean. Corners sharp. Very close to "As New".
