«El difunto Matías Pascal» is the novel by Luigi Pirandello, published by RBA in hardback (320 pages, in Spanish).
Matías Pascal, presumed dead, decides to change his identity and start a new life. He soon finds that escaping his past is not so easy: the new existence also imposes its own constraints. The novel marked a shift in the costumbrista narrative of the era and paved the way for interest in the psychological study of characters.
This RBA edition (1992) belongs to the Historia de la Literatura collection (no. 31), with a translation by Rafael Cansinos Asséns. The novel was originally published in 1904 under the title «Il fu Mattia Pascal».
It is a work for readers of Italian classics interested in the psychological study of the character.
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.
