Specifikacia Stories for the Years
A masterful collection by a literary giant of the past century, rendered by one of our most esteemed Italian translators "A fine sampling of Pirandello's world, convincingly translated by Jewiss, who negotiates the problems of bringing his vivid, colloquial prose and effortless storytelling into English with great skill."--Tim Parks, New York Review of BooksRegarded as one of Europe's great modernists, Pirandello was also a master storyteller, a fine observer of the drama of daily life with a remarkable sense of the crushing burdens of class, gender, and social conventions.
