About this audiobook

"Scialle nero" è il titolo di una Novella composta da Pirandello nel 1900. Divisa in cinque parti è anche la novella che dà il titolo alla prima raccolta delle "Novelle per un anno" pubblicate dal Premio Nobel siciliano nel 1922.
Pirandello ci presenta Eleonora Bandi, donna che dopo aver perso i genitori ha sacrificato la sua vita per far studiare Giorgio, il suo fratello minore.
Giorgio riesce a diventare uno stimato medico, mentre a 40 anni Eleonora è sola e ormai priva di prospettive.
Il fratello ha acquistato una villa di campagna in cui la donna si è trasferita in pace. Eleonora per sfuggire alla noia inizia ad aiutare negli studi il giovane Gerlando, un ragazzo di 19 anni.
Il rapporto tra la bella insegnante e l'allievo però si fa più intimo e intenso giorno dopo giorno, fino a rendere il destino di Eleonora decisamente molto complicato.

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.
