Book Description
This unique selection of plays by Luigi Pirandello contains some of his best-known works, such as Six Characters in Search of an Author - an absurdist piece in which the characters, actors and Pirandello himself interact during the rehearsal of a fictional play within the play - and Henry IV - a tragicomic tale of a man who falls from a horse and believes himself to be the eponymous Holy Roman Emperor. Preoccupied with the nature of truth and delusion, and treading dangerously on the borderline between sanity and madness, Pirandello's plays are a daring exploration of human actions and the dark motives lying behind them, and the culmination of the naturalistic school of theatre inaugurated by authors such as Ibsen and Chekhov.

Book Description
Sometimes we are damaged by people we know, trust, and love. This damage shocks us and sends us into a state of emotional numbness for a while. We trap ourselves in a constant inner fight to believe the reality of the damage. We blame ourselves. We get shocked and unwantedly disappointed. We question our self-worth. We review what has happened in our mind and look for an excuse to change the whole perception. We enrage, hold grudges, and we plot our revenge. This bitter fight will never end unless we change the purpose of the fight to find our true selves. We can either give in and play the victim or get on the journey to become strong and unfold our real value. The journey is there; grab your tools and go for the breakthrough.
