Six Characters in Search of an Author and Other Plays (Twentieth-Century Classics)

Playwright Luigi Pirandello explored themes like the mysteries of personality and the vagueness of reality and truth. As a founding architect of 20th-century drama, his works have been compared to Ibsen and Strindberg and has, in turn, influenced writers such as O’Neil, Sartre and Ionescou. Of the prolific writer’s novels, plays and hundreds of stories, Penguin Classics presents three works that can all claim to be Pirandello’s masterpieces; Six Characters in Search of an Author & Other Plays.
