{"product_id":"the-late-mattia-pascal-9781590171158","title":"The Late Mattia Pascal","description":"Mattia Pascal endures a life of drudgery in a provincial town. Then, providentially, he discovers that he has been declared dead. Realizing he has a chance to start over, to do it right this time, he moves to a new city, adopts a new name, and a new course of life--only to find that this new existence is as insufferable as the old one. But when he returns to the world he left behind, it's too late: his job is gone, his wife has remarried. Mattia Pascal's fate is to live on as the ghost of the man he was. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAn explorer of identity and its mysteries, a connoisseur of black humor, Nobel Prize winner Luigi Pirandello is among the most teasing and profound of modern masters. \u003ci\u003eThe Late Mattia Pascal\u003c\/i\u003e, here rendered into English by the outstanding translator William Weaver, offers an irresistible introduction to this great writer's work\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e New York Review of Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/30\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781590171158\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.98h x 5.18w x 0.61d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2005 pg. 126\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Luigi Pirandello","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42917285822645,"sku":"9781590171158","price":16.11,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_d976a08c-e9a4-49d4-bf58-a56eb86e0108.jpg?v=1687281548","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-late-mattia-pascal-9781590171158","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
