Worth the price

These short stories are a strange Surreal landscape of humor and characterization. There is virtue in this capture of a culture and a time in words. These are some of the best short stories of this period that I've read. I'm glad they weren't overworked in to parts of a novel as is the custom today.
I thoroughly enjoyed this

I had to read these stories for one of my classes, and I really liked it. The stories were impeccable and Pirandello was a brilliant story-teller. A book that I could read again and again.
Oil Jar
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
Pirandello captivated my interest through his existential and absurdist writing style. This specific book is a collection of short stories that look at the many emotions eperienced in a human life. Each story was amazing; the character development, the setting, and the climax were profound, for an eight page tale.
Wonderful slice of 19th century Sicilian life
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
This tiny booklet of short stories offers wonderful vignettes of 19th century life in Sicily. The characters come alive and some of the stories remind me of my late grandparents' tales about villagers in the "old country". Especially nice booklet for people of Sicilian descent.
Cute stories for any reader
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
Not-Hard stories that anyone of just about any mental capacity can read and understand, I liked it for that. Great stories, stories pretty much based on the most common tales of humanity and society, but with an interesting twist. I rated it a 4 primarily for what it offers to a lot of people, the opportunity to read well written novelettes, and because its not quite a 5 (its no Les Miserables or War and Peace) but still enjoyable!
