Chapter 19 A Brief Talk on Pirandello

A Brief Talk on Pirandello As I have said many times, I am new to theater and have a habit of not reading scripts. used.It is true that there are too many good novels in the world, which make me too read to read, and I have no time to take care of the script, but reading The script is like reading a detective novel, you must have a lot of patience and wait for the development of the plot in the play. I'm just one of those people who lacks such patience. I was therefore not only unfamiliar but unworthy of the recently deceased Pirandello.I Only read some of his short stories from foreign periodicals, (he wrote many short stories, there should be

More than 400 articles, and wrote a story collection such as "Ten Day Tan", expanded to more than 360 articles, One article per day, just enough for one year).As for the script, I have only read Mr. Xu Xiacun's translation: "Six A character in a play looking for a writer" and "a man with a flower on his mouth", Mr. Xu is the Chinese The only "Pirandello family", but it seems to be very indifferent to him in recent years.He is General Piran del Louie Introduced to people in China, now is his best chance to settle this important case. Pirandello is an Italian, and modern Italian writers naturally cannot escape the clutches of Mussolini.

control, so Pirandello joined the Fascists from 1924, but he Not very energetic, and his pessimistic philosophy could not fully satisfy Mussolini, so the two Always in a tacit understanding that is not very harmonious.Mussolini invites Pirandello to Italy The Academy, on the one hand, banned his plays from time to time. Pirandello is to Italy what Ibsen is to Norway, Strindberg is to Sweden, Chekhov In Russia, Hoftmann in Germany, Shaw in England, Morla in Hungary, Benavande In Spain, O'Neill is the same as in the United States. They are all unique and unique dramatists. Not only is it comparable, but it is also making modern dramas colorful.

In Pirandello's philosophical world, everything is false, even this "false" is false Yes, everyone wears a mask to act, some are self-righteous, some are people-pleasing, and we What the real "self" is, even our "self" does not know.Life is all about acting, Some lied to others, and some lied to themselves, until one day, when they got tired of it, they kicked the whole thing away. Kick everything away... "Ask a poet what is the saddest phenomenon of human life, and he will answer: 'It is It is a smile on a man's face', but the man who smiles does not see himself".

This is exactly Pirandello's outlook on life and the philosophy that underpins his work.he wrote in his early years Thirty years of novels have always been mediocre, until I accidentally wrote a script in 1910, It was an unexpected success, and the success in continental Europe and Broadway in the United States far exceeded that in the reputation of his country.He was born in 1867 and won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1934. Recently passed away, at the age of sixty-nine.
