Description

In ‘The Waves’, a young man falls dangerously in love with his tenant downstairs who is about to get married; in ‘The Signorina’, a woman, disillusioned with her suitor’s inability to declare his feelings, is prompted to make a rash decision that she will regret for ever; in 'A Friend of the Wives', a wedding organizer, the unattainably beautiful Pia, leaves a trail of destruction among her closest friends. In this collection of stories – Pirandello’s first published work of fiction – the master of Italian modernism dissects the causes and the effects of passions that are either dimly felt or unrequited, ultimately raising doubts about the very nature and existence of love, while foreshadowing at the same time the themes and the psychologically nuanced characters that he will later develop in his more famous works.

Author Biography:

Born in Sicily, Luigi Pirandello (1867–1936) studied as a philologist before becoming an acclaimed writer of both drama and fiction. One of the most innovative and influential playwrights of the last century, he is best known for his comic masterpiece Six Characters in Search of an Author, and was the winner of the 1934 Nobel Prize for Literature.
