Luigi Pirandello, assimilando e oltrepassando la lezione di rigore, oggettività, impersonalità lucida e feroce, impartitagli dal verismo di Verga e Capuana, seppe introdurre nei genere novellistico le note stridenti e dolorose dell'angoscia che attanaglia l'uomo contemporaneo, posto impietosamente di fronte allo specchio che illumina senza velo e senza appello le sue finzioni, le sue ipocrisie, i suoi inganni agli altri e a se stesso, le sue maschere fragili e fittizie.

Luigi Pirandello; Agrigento (28 June 1867 – Rome 10 December 1936) was an Italian dramatist, novelist, poet, and short story writer whose greatest contributions were 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.
