Uno, nessuno e centomila

Di Luigi Pirandello

Uno, nessuno e centomila segna l'altissimo epilogo della tensione narrativa di Pirandello e costituisce uno degli esiti più nuovi della letteratura del Novecento. All'interno dell'accidentata geografia di naufragi esistenziali di cui è percorsa l'opera pirandelliana, il lucidissimo Vitangelo Moscarda approda alla conquista di quella sofferta accettazione dell'incompletezza di se stessi che passa attraverso la via della rinuncia e della solitudine. La stessa che vuole seguire Serafino Gubbio, eliminando tutte le maschere, aspirando a quell'impassibilità che è disponibilità assoluta, regredendo fino a diventare uno spazio bianco. La crisi dell'io che si frantuma nel moltiplicarsi di prospettive e punti di riferimento conduce i protagonisti di questi due romanzi all'abbandono definitivo di ogni legame con la realtà.

Luigi Pirandello

Luigi Pirandello (1867-1936) was an Italian playwright, novelist, and poet. Born to a wealthy Sicilian family in the village of Cobh, Pirandello was raised in a household dedicated to the Garibaldian cause of Risorgimento. Educated at home as a child, he wrote his first tragedy at twelve before entering high school in Palermo, where he excelled in his studies and read the poets of nineteenth century Italy. After a tumultuous period at the University of Rome, Pirandello transferred to Bonn, where he immersed himself in the works of the German romantics. He began publishing his poems, plays, novels, and stories in earnest, appearing in some of Italy’s leading literary magazines and having his works staged in Rome. Six Characters in Search of an Author (1921), an experimental absurdist drama, was viciously opposed by an outraged audience on its opening night, but has since been recognized as an essential text of Italian modernist literature. During this time, Pirandello was struggling to care for his wife Antonietta, whose deteriorating mental health forced him to place her in an asylum by 1919. In 1924, Pirandello joined the National Fascist Party, and was soon aided by Mussolini in becoming the owner and director of the Teatro d’Arte di Roma. Although his identity as a Fascist was always tenuous, he never outright abandoned the party. Despite this, he maintained the admiration of readers and critics worldwide, and was awarded the 1934 Nobel Prize for Literature.

Recensioni su Uno, nessuno e centomila

[bookomaniac-1 · Valutazione: 3 su 5 stelle]

dit is het kernwerk van Pirandello. Zijn hele thematiek vind je hier samengevat, vooral in de eerste dertig pagina’s. Wat volgt is redundant, maar toch noodzakelijk; want Moscarda bewijst dat je niet zomaar een andere identiteit kan aannemen. Maar uiteindelijk slaagt Moscarda wel vrij en creatief zijn eigen leven in te vullen.
