Produktbeschreibung
Luigi Pirandello's 'Henry IV' is a thought-provoking play that delves into the themes of identity, reality, and madness. Set in the early 20th century, the play follows the story of a man who believes himself to be the medieval Emperor Henry IV. The narrative blurs the lines between delusion and truth, forcing readers to question the nature of perception and self-perception. Pirandello's use of psychological depth and philosophical musings make 'Henry IV' a compelling and complex work that challenges the reader's understanding of reality and sanity. The play's unique blend of psychological insight and philosophical exploration places it within the realm of modernist literature, pushing the boundaries of traditional narrative forms and storytelling techniques. Luigi Pirandello's own background as a psychiatrist and his interest in the human mind likely influenced his creation of such a psychologically rich and introspective work like 'Henry IV.' Readers who enjoy intellectually stimulating plays with deep psychological themes will find 'Henry IV' a captivating and thought-provoking read that will linger in the mind long after the final act.

Autorenporträt
LUIGI PIRANDELLO (Girgenti 1867 - Rome 1936) was arguably the most influential playwright in the 20th century, and his writings attract even more scholarly attention today. His plays challenge incessantly our perception of reality, exposing the grotesque elements that make up all manner of social behaviour. He has been criticised for paying lip service to Mussolini's regime, but the prevailing scholarship today recognizes the real purpose behind the playwright's political stance: Pirandello's interest, first and foremost, was to promote his theatre, and he did not hesitate to "act" in order to gain the necessary government backing. Significantly, Alice Rohe regarded him as the harbinger of a new Italian Renaissance. Pirandello was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1934.
