Luigi Pirandello 
L’umorismo 

In ’L’umorismo’ Luigi Pirandello explores the complexities of humor through a series of philosophical reflections and short stories that delve into the human psyche. His literary style blends elements of existentialism and absurdism, reflecting the turbulent times in which he lived. The book challenges traditional views on comedy and invites readers to ponder the deeper meaning behind laughter and irony. Pirandello’s use of metafiction adds a layer of complexity to the narrative, making ’L’umorismo’ a compelling and thought-provoking read. Luigi Pirandello, a Nobel Prize-winning Italian playwright and novelist, drew inspiration from his own struggles with identity and perception, which are reflected in the existential themes of the book. His keen observation of human nature and his innovative approach to storytelling set him apart as a literary genius. I highly recommend ’L’umorismo’ to readers interested in exploring the philosophical underpinnings of humor and the intricate workings of the human mind.
