Set in the author's birthplace of Sicily, where the arid terrain and isolated villages map the fragile interior world of his characters, and in Rome, where modern life threatens centuries-old traditions, these original stories are sun baked with the deep lore of Italian folktales. In "The Jar," a broken earthenware pot pits its owner, a quarrelsome landholder, against a clever inventor of a mysterious glue. "The Dearly Departed" tells the story of a young widow and her new husband on their honeymoon, haunted at every turn by the sly visage of the deceased. The scorned lover, the despondent widow, the intransigent bureaucrat, the wretched peasant--Pirandello's characters expose the human condition in all its fatalism, injustice, and raw beauty. For lovers of Calvino and Pasolini, these picturesque stories preserve a memory of an Italy long gone, but one whose recurring concerns still speak to us today. 505 0 $a Translator's introduction -- Preface -- The revenge of the dog -- The cat, a goldfinch, and the stars -- The jar -- Donna Mimma -- The dearly departed -- Two double beds -- Night -- NeneÌ and NiniÌ -- A breath of air -- Faith -- Seeing as it's not raining ... -- A "goy" -- When you understand -- The light in the other house -- Swift and swallow -- Mrs. Frola and her son-in-law Mr. Ponza -- The bat -- The raven of MiÌzzaro -- The waiting coffin -- Romulus -- The Cathar heresy -- The little black goat -- Prancing -- The fly -- On the mark -- The little fan -- The brazier -- Dirge -- On his own -- In the evening, a geranium -- List of Italian titles and publication dates. 600 10 $a Pirandello, Luigi, $d 1867-1936 $v Translations into English. 600 17 $a Pirandello, Luigi, $d 1867-1936. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00036491 650 0 $a Short stories, Italian $v Translations into English. 650 7 $a Manners and customs. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01007815 650 7 $a Short stories, Italian. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01117243 651 0 $a Sicily (Italy) $x Social life and customs $v Fiction. 651 7 $a Italy $z Sicily. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204499 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423787 655 7 $a Short stories. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01726740 655 7 $a Translations. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423791 655 7 $a Short stories. $2 lcgft 776 08 $i Online version: $a Pirandello, Luigi. $t Stories for the years. $d New Haven : Yale University Press, [2020] $z 9780300255669 $w (OCoLC)1181839686 700 1 $a Jewiss, Virginia, $e translator. 830 0 $a Margellos world republic of letters book. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220317025308.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=A2860CC6FFE911EBB6EAFDEE22ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
