Luigi Pirandello was an Italian dramatist, novelist, poet and short story writer who lived from 1867 to 1936, most noted for his plays. He was awarded the 1934 Nobel Prize in Literature for his bold and ingenious revival of dramatic and scenic art. His works include novels, hundreds of short stories and about 40 plays, some written in Sicilian, and his tragic farces are often seen as forerunners of the Theatre of the Absurd.
