«El difunto Matías Pascal» is the novel by Luigi Pirandello, published by Seix Barral in hardback (320 pages, in Spanish).
Matías Pascal, trapped in a suffocating marriage and without money, flees to Montecarlo. After a stroke of luck he is presumed dead and decides to adopt a new identity, but loneliness and the lack of a past turn his freedom into a prison. Pirandello blends farce and psychological portrait in a novel that questions who we are.
1984 edition from the collection 'Obras Maestras de la Literatura Contemporánea' (no. 55), with translation by Rafael Cansinos Assens. Work originally published in 1904.
For readers of twentieth-century classics and Italian fiction, as well as for those approaching Luigi Pirandello's work for the first time.
Luigi Pirandello was an Italian dramatist, novelist, poet, and short story writer most noted for his plays. He was awarded the 1934 Nobel Prize in Literature "for his bold and ingenious revival of dramatic and scenic art". Pirandello's works include novels, hundreds of short stories, and about 40 plays, some of which are written in Sicilian. Pirandello's tragic farces are often seen as forerunners of the Theatre of the Absurd.
