«Liolà» is the play by Luigi Pirandello, published by Garzanti Libri in paperback (208 pages, in Italian).
Rural comedy set in Sicily in 1916. Liolà, a vital and carefree young peasant, has had three children with three different mothers. Simone, the richest landowner in the area and without an heir, considers recognising as his own the child his young wife Mita is expecting, but underestimates Liolà, who has his own sense of justice.
From the Maschere nude series, in the I grandi libri Garzanti collection. Edited by Gaspare Giudice with an introduction by Nino Borsellino. Sicilian text with the author's Italian translation on facing pages.
For readers of classic theatre and students of Italian interested in Pirandello's dialect production, with the Sicilian text and its translation in view.
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.
