This play by Luigi Pirandello explores the blurred lines between reality and fiction. As a theatrical work from the early twentieth century, the language is conversational yet precise, reflecting the technical environment of a stage. You will encounter specific vocabulary related to theatre production and stage directions. The sentences are generally descriptive and direct, making it an accessible but thought provoking read. It is a classic study of characters seeking their own narrative, challenging the reader to distinguish between actors and their roles.

Questions about this book
What level of Italian do I need for this book?
The estimate is B2, based on how common the words are and how long the sentences run. It is an approximation, not a test result. With a translation under every sentence you can start one level earlier than you would with a paper copy.
Is this book really free?
Yes. The text is in the public domain and comes from Project Gutenberg, so it costs nothing. In Lingo7 you open the book and read the first page for free; a subscription unlocks the whole library, the audio and the word practice.
How does reading with a translation work?
Lingo7 shows the original sentence and, right under it, the same sentence in your language. Tap a word to see what it means, hear it, and save it for practice. The translation is made while you read, so it works for any book and for 49 languages.
How long does it take to read?
About 1 h 37 min at a native pace, spread over 3 chapters. In a foreign language plan for more: half an hour a day finishes a book of this size in a few weeks.
