I fiori di Pirandello

Rate this book
"I fiori di Pirandello" è una raccolta di sei delle più famose novelle di Luigi Pirandello. Tratte da "Novelle per un anno", raccolta composta da quindici volumi pubblicati tra il 1922 e il 1937, questi racconti ruotano attorno al dramma del quotidiano e del privato, delineando figure tragicomiche, personaggi che fanno scaturire una risata lasciando però l’amaro in bocca. Protagonisti incastrati in ruoli da cui non possono più uscire, descritti con toni grotteschi, caricaturali e al limite dell’inverosimile.

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.

Une écriture simple et bien maîtrisée, quelques mots de dilacte un peu diffcile à saisir mais qui font aussi tout le charme d'un style populaire. On entre dans un style très directe qui rappelle légèrement les contes populaires. Une adorable plongée dans la culture du Sud de l'Italie. On y découvre un rythme de vie, des contacts humains, des préoccupations très liée aux lieux qui s'ancre dans la réalité de son temps. Différents tons qui s'enchainent parfaitement, on passe du rire aux larmes avec joie. Le tout tourné de façon souvent inattendue, un vrai plaisir de se demander comment chaque situation va bien pouvoir se terminer. On n'est jamais déçu. Une profusion de personnages caricaturaux dont on adore se moquer, tous plus divertissants les uns que les autres. Une critique des contemporains et de l'absurdité de monde dans lequel on vit extrêmement bien amenée, toujours avec une bienveillance très douce.

Una raccolta con alcuni dei racconti più famosi di Pirandello, un riso amaro che corre tra le pagine e le vite dei protagonisti, uomini sopraffatti dai casi della vita, eppure ancora così innamorati del mondo da non riuscire a distaccarsene...
