One None and a Hundred Thousand

Nobel Prize-winning Luigi pirandello’s classic novel on the nature of identity br>‘brims with sly humor compelling drama and skilfully depicted oddly modern characters capped with timeless insight into the fragile human psyche. Luigi pirandello's extraordinary final novel begins when vitangelo moscarda's wife remarks that vitangelo's nose tilts to the right. This commonplace interaction spurs the novel's unemployed wealthy narrator to examine himself the way he perceives others and the ways that others perceive him. At first he only notices small differences in how he sees himself and how others do; but his self-examination quickly becomes relentless dizzying leading to often darkly comic results as vitangelo decides that he must demolish that version of himself that others see.
