About this audiobook

In "Sole e ombra" Pirandello descrive, con il suo stile unico, la disperazione dell'anziano Ciunna. La famiglia del povero vecchio versa in condizioni molto difficili, così un giorno ruba sul lavoro 2.700. Lo fa così, in un attimo d'istinto, quasi senza pensare.
Ciunna è un personaggio amato e rispettato in città e l'aver commesso quel furto non lo fa più dormire la notte. Arriva a camminare in giro per le strade deserte pur di non stare a casa a pensare a quello che ha fatto.
Anche se il piccolo furto non è stato scoperto e tutto sembra apparentemente normale, Ciunna è dilaniato dal senso di colpa, tanto che il povero anziano decide di suicidarsi gettandosi in mare. Ma togliersi la vita non sarà così facile come previsto...

Luigi Pirandello

Luigi Pirandello (1867-1936) was an Italian playwright, novelist, and poet. Born to a wealthy Sicilian family in the village of Cobh, Pirandello was raised in a household dedicated to the Garibaldian cause of Risorgimento. Educated at home as a child, he wrote his first tragedy at twelve before entering high school in Palermo, where he excelled in his studies and read the poets of nineteenth century Italy. After a tumultuous period at the University of Rome, Pirandello transferred to Bonn, where he immersed himself in the works of the German romantics. He began publishing his poems, plays, novels, and stories in earnest, appearing in some of Italy’s leading literary magazines and having his works staged in Rome. Six Characters in Search of an Author (1921), an experimental absurdist drama, was viciously opposed by an outraged audience on its opening night, but has since been recognized as an essential text of Italian modernist literature. During this time, Pirandello was struggling to care for his wife Antonietta, whose deteriorating mental health forced him to place her in an asylum by 1919. In 1924, Pirandello joined the National Fascist Party, and was soon aided by Mussolini in becoming the owner and director of the Teatro d’Arte di Roma. Although his identity as a Fascist was always tenuous, he never outright abandoned the party. Despite this, he maintained the admiration of readers and critics worldwide, and was awarded the 1934 Nobel Prize for Literature.
