The Late Mattia Pascal is a novel by Italian writer Luigi Pirandello, published in 1904. The story follows Mattia Pascal, a man who, after being declared dead, decides to assume a new identity to escape his previous life full of problems and responsibilities. However, he soon discovers that reinventing oneself is not as simple as it seems, and he faces new complications and moral dilemmas in his attempt to build a more fulfilling existence. The novel explores themes such as identity, freedom, alienation, and the search for meaning in a chaotic and changing world.
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.
