Rendition To Books One, No One and One Hundred Thousand

The great Pirandello's (1867-1936) 1926 novel, previously published here in 1933 in another translation, synthesizes the themes and personalities that illuminate such dramas as Six Characters in Search of an Author.

Vitangelo Moscarda ``loses his reality'' when his wife cavalierly informs him that his nose tilts to the right; suddenly he realizes that ``for others I was not what till now, privately, I had imagined myself to be,'' and that, consequently, his identity is evanescent, based purely on the shifting perceptions of those around him. Thus he is simultaneously without a self--``no one''--and the theater for myriad selves--``one hundred thousand.'' In a crazed search for an identity independent of others' preconceptions, Moscarda careens from one disaster to the next and finds his freedom even as he is declared insane.

It is Pirandello's genius that a discussion of the fundamental human inability to communicate, of our essential solitariness, and of the inescapable restriction of our free will elicits such thoroughly sustained and earthy laughter.

Assess About Books One, No One and One Hundred Thousand

This is in some ways the ultimate novel of the mind, as the narrator delves into his own identity, thrown into an existential crisis by a throwaway observation by his wife about the shape of his nose, something he'd never noticed about himself before. He realises his self-perception differs from the perception of others, but takes it further, suggesting that he is not the same person that his wife sees and there are multiple versions of him. As you'd expect from Pirandello it's about reality and

They say comedy is one step away from tragedy. In this book, I didnt know whether to laugh or cry. Sure I laughed because there was a lot of farce in these pages. But the madness that takes hold has a real sadness happens as well.Vitangelo is twenty-eight, married and living off the inheritance of his father. Nothing to complain about. One day when his wife notes that his nose has a tilt to the right, he becomes obsessed about it. He asks his friends about his nose. They dont think anything

Moscarda's life crumbled in a sec when his wife casually mentions his tilted nose that he never noticed. he looks in the mirror and sees all the imperfections in his face, now magnified. He panics and starts questioning if this is how people see him and if this body resembles the real him. The protagonist then seeks his solitude in order to figure out which ONE he is: him as seen by self or the other 100 thousand selves that people see in him, or none of the above... it was then that he looked

Excellent essay regarding the topics of of ego and our thoughts of how it reflects on others.

The theme of this book is the multiplicity of the identities of the human beings, the masks . Nietzsches idea was that personal identity is consciousness, and this is what Pirandello wants to say in this book, his last novel which took him many years to complete.The protagonist of this book will try to get rid of all the masks , the one he believes to have made himself (one) and those that are imposed by others (one hundred thousand ). To succeed he will need to get conscious, get rid of all the

This is one of those books that blows you away. Why? Well, Mr. Pirandello's novel is one of those that will make you doubt about who you are for years. This is the book I would pick up if I were asked to choose the one novel which has taught me the most about life. This novel is not an easy read. However, whenever you find yourself not understanding, there will be something further ahead telling you that you are on the right track. Only by deconstructing yourself, you will be able to open your

One, No One and One Hundred Thousand is about a guy who starts to question his existence and his place in life after being mentioned of an unimportant flaw on his face by his wife. Pirandello's bitterest book (by his own comment) faces you with some kind of paradoxical reality that can even be disturbing in some parts, but his humorous language doesn't let you down. I don't know if Italo Svevo was under the influence of the language of this book when he wrote his amazing novel Zeno's conscience
