Summary
Luigi Pirandello: Excommunicated
The Italian Nobel laureate Luigi Pirandello (1867-1936) is best known for his brilliant novellas and plays, but he also achieved enviable success and popularity among the widest readership with his novels. Along with the masterpiece THE LATE MATIJA PASCAL, Pirandeil's first novel IZOPCENA (1901) stands out, which is now appearing again in our country, in a new translation by Karmen Milačić. (It was translated and published for the first time in Zagreb in 1923.) The main theme of this novel, like many of Pirandello's other works, is jealousy, and it takes place in his native Sicily. It is about a woman unjustly accused of adultery, that is, about a classic conflict between an individual and a conservative social environment, a conflict in which, as usual, the individual gets the lower end, especially when it is female.
