Six Characters in Search of an Author and Other Plays读书介绍

Pirandello (1867-1936) is the founding architect of twentieth-century drama, brilliantly innovatory in his forms and themes, and in the combined energy, imagination and visual colours of his theatre. This volume of plays, translated from the Italian by Mark Musa, opens with Six Characters in Search of an Author, Pirandello's most popular and controversial work in which six characters invade the stage and demand to be included in the play. The tragedy "Henry IV" dramatizes the lucid madness of a man who may be King. In "So It Is (If You Think So)", the townspeople exercise a morbid curiosity attempting to discover 'the truth' about the Ponza family. Each of these plays can lay claim to being Pirandello's masterpiece, and in exploring the nature of human personality each one stretches the resources of drama to their limits.

路易吉·皮兰德娄（Luigi Pirandello，1867—1936）是意大利伟大的戏剧大师和小说家，一生创作了40多部剧本，主要剧作有《诚实的快乐》、《是这样，如果你们以为如此》、《并非一件严肃的事情》、《像从前却胜于从前》、《六个寻找剧家的角色》、《亨利四世》、《给裸体者穿上衣服》、《各行其事》、《我们今晚即兴演出》、《寻找自我》等，其中《六个寻找剧作家的角色》和《亨利四世》已成为世界戏剧史上的传世杰作。1934他因“果敢而灵巧地复兴了戏剧艺术和舞台艺术”荣获诺贝尔文学奖。意大利著名作家莫拉维亚赞美说，皮兰德娄对戏剧的贡献可以同乔伊斯对小说或毕加索对绘画的贡献相媲美。
