Il fu Mattia Pascal

Pirandello's early works brilliantly convey the atmosphere of the Sicilian province and its inhabitants. In his later works, the author's attention is entirely focused on the conflicts of the inner world of man.
The novel "The Late Mattia Pascal" marked the beginning of his literary fame not only in Italy but also abroad. It reveals the theme of "faces and masks" that the characters wear to escape from the chaos of the surrounding world.
