Winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1934; Italian playwright Luigi Pirandello (1867ndash;1936) explored such themes as the relativity of truth; the vanity and necessity of illusion; and the instability of human personality. In this famous play; an expressionistic parable set in a small Italian town in the early twentieth century; Pirandello skillfully dramatizes these issues.The observer Laudisi derides the townspeople for their insistence on knowing the secrets of Mrs. Frola and her married daughter: Why does Mrs. Frola live alone and not with her daughter? Why do the two never visit each other? The answers to these questions lie at the heart of this play and at the center of Pirandellos artistic vision. Presented in an excellent new English translation; this inexpensive edition will delight students and lovers of modern drama.

What you should know is that the book assumes you are in a group and have an instructor playing accompaniment. Does not come with a data disk but it does reference them.

The only issue I had was with the binding. My brothers dog literally latched onto it with her teeth and then in one swipe ran off with it. If it was spiral bound.
