Uno, nessuno e centomila

Written by Luigi Pirandello

Narrated by Giancarlo Previati

L'ultimo romanzo di Pirandello, il romanzo «più amaro di tutti, profondamente umoristico, di scomposizione della vita» come affermò lo stesso autore. La filosofia pirandelliana trova qui il suo totale compimento attraverso il protagonista, il "pazzo" Vitangelo Moscarda, che assorbe in sé e supera tutti i personaggi presenti nelle opere precedenti dello scrittore siciliano. Moscarda, partendo dalla scoperta di avere il naso lievemente storto, si avventura in una serie di ricerche speculative ed esistenziali che lo porteranno prima alla rovina e poi alla successiva rinascita tramite l'autoesclusione dalla vita sociale e dalla visione comune degli uomini. La voce del narratore dà forma e concretezza vivente ad un monologo ricco di interrogazioni ed esclamazioni proprio come fosse un’opera teatrale ma in realtà si rivolge, al di là del palcoscenico, direttamente all’orecchio dell’ascoltatore e alla sua coscienza.

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.
