When Vitangelo Moscarda's wife tells him his nose leans slightly to the right, his entire world swings off kilter. Loafing about, suddenly estranged from himself, he accosts friends, strangers, and passersby to look closely and confirm: Am I not the self I thought I was? Wandering from mirror to mirror, Moscarda embarks on a dizzying pursuit to see himself as others see him, to root out the stranger within. Searching endlessly for his true self, Moscarda ricochets through insecurity, reclusiveness, self-detachment, and doubt -- resolving, with icy recognition, that "people roll through their lives like stones, complacent, insensate, and closed," locked in an unknown face. Things quickly escalate from pensive reflection to dramatic confrontations as the protagonist disintegrates. With sharp dialogue and comic brilliance, Pirandello dissolves the fixity of perception, challenging us to question the solidity of our own identities and to consider the ways we are each held captive by the gazes of others.]]></description><link>https://christchurch.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S37C1815100</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://christchurch.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S37C1815100</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Pirandello, Luigi, 1867-1936]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2025 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://christchurch.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1815100037</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url/></item><item><title><![CDATA[Loveless Love]]></title><description><![CDATA[In this collection of stories Pirandello's first published work of fiction the master of Italian modernism dissects the passions that are either dimly felt or unrequited, ultimately raising doubts about the very nature and existence of love, while simultaneously foreshadowing the themes and the psychologically nuanced characters that he would go on to develop in his later works.]]></description><link>https://christchurch.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S37C1164198</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://christchurch.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S37C1164198</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Pirandello, Luigi, 1867-1936]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2020 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://christchurch.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1164198037</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url/></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Oil Jar and Other Stories]]></title><link>https://christchurch.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S37C1620292</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://christchurch.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S37C1620292</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Pirandello, Luigi, 1867-1936]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 31 Jan 1995 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://christchurch.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1620292037</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url/></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Late Mattia Pascal]]></title><link>https://christchurch.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S37C1614345</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://christchurch.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S37C1614345</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Pirandello, Luigi, 1867-1936]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 31 Jan 1993 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://christchurch.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1614345037</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url/></item><item><title><![CDATA[Collected Plays]]></title><link>https://christchurch.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S37C1836674</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://christchurch.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S37C1836674</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Pirandello, Luigi, 1867-1936]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 31 Jan 1988 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://christchurch.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1836674037</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>Volume Two</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url/></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Penguin Book of Italian Short Stories]]></title><description><![CDATA[When Jhumpa Lahiri decided to read exclusively in Italian, a language she had studied for many years, her life as a reader and writer took a surprising turn.
