Synopsis "The Outcast"

A young wife in a nineteenth-century Sicilian village, Marta is deeply in love with her husband Rocco and pregnant with his child. But when Rocco discovers a letter written to Marta by a would-be suitor, he falsely accuses her of infidelity and banishes her from their home. Soon the whole village turns against the supposed adulteress, setting in motion a series of tragic events that culminates in the loss of Marta's family home and business, as well as the deaths of her father and newborn child. Plunged into poverty and treated as a social leper, with practically nothing else to lose, Marta is determined to claw her way back into a society bent on excluding her. The Outcast is an early masterwork from Nobel Prize-winning Italian author Luigi Pirandello that combines elements of Zolaesque naturalism with emerging modernist aesthetics. This fresh English translation, the first in nearly one hundred years, showcases Pirandello's deft play with language and his use of irony. This book was translated thanks to a grant awarded by the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation.

Luigi Pirandello nació en el seno de una familia acomodada. Cursó sus estudios superiores en Palermo, Roma y Bonn. Volvió luego a Italia para ejercer de profesor de Literatura en la Escuela Normal Femenina de Roma, puesto que dejaría cuando su creciente reputación le permitió dedicarse en exclusiva a su carrera como escritor. Pirandello comenzó escribiendo poesía y relatos cortos, pero es fundamentalmente conocido por su faceta como dramaturgo.
En sus obras volcó todas sus ideas filosóficas y se permitió explorar la psicología humana por medio de personajes populares en un novedoso lenguaje teatral que dejaba atrás las convenciones tradicionales. Ya como autor reconocido, fue nombrado director del Teatro d’Arte de Roma en 1925 y miembro de la Real Academia de Italia en 1929.
En 1934 recibió el Premio Nobel de Literatura por su «audaz e ingeniosa renovación del arte dramático y escénico». Aunque la figura de Pirandello quedó ligeramente empañada por sus lazos con el fascismo de Mussolini, su brillante trayectoria lo sitúa como el más importante dramaturgo de la Europa de entreguerras y uno de los grandes innovadores del teatro del siglo xx, cuya visión vanguardista sigue estando vigente hoy en día.
