About this ebook
« Voi credete di conoscervi se non vi costruite in qualche modo? E ch’io possa conoscervi, se non vi costruisco a modo mio? E voi me, se non mi costruite a modo vostro? Possiamo conoscere soltanto quello a cui riusciamo a dar forma. Ma che conoscenza può essere? È forse questa forma la cosa stessa? Sì, tanto per me, quanto per voi; ma non così per me come per voi: tanto vero che io non mi riconosco nella forma che mi date voi, né voi in quella che vi do io; e la stessa cosa non è uguale per tutti e anche per ciascuno di noi può di continuo cangiare, e difatti cangia di continuo »
Vitangelo Moscarda, è un individuo ordinario, che ha ereditato dal padre una fortuna e vive senza troppo interrogarsi sulla sua condizione. Un giorno, guardandosi allo specchio, scopre che la gente, compresa sua moglie e i suoi amici più intimi, hanno di lui un’immagine completamente diversa da quella che lui aveva associato a se stesso fino a quel momento. Anzi, si rende conto che gli altri non hanno una sola immagine di lui, ma una serie infinita di immagini sempre cangianti. Da questa scoperta agghiacciante Moscarda decide di risalire alla sua vera identità, di scoprire ossessivamente chi è davvero, al di là di come lo rappresentano gli altri. Ultimo romanzo di Pirandello, senz’altro uno dei più complessi, ‘‘Uno, nessuno e centomila’’ è un’acutissima riflessione di portata universale sulla condizione umana e cerca di rispondere alla domanda: « Chi siamo? ».

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5dit is het kernwerk van Pirandello. Zijn hele thematiek vind je hier samengevat, vooral in de eerste dertig pagina?s. Wat volgt is redundant, maar toch noodzakelijk; want Moscarda bewijst dat je niet zomaar een andere identiteit kan aannemen. Maar uiteindelijk slaagt Moscarda wel vrij en creatief zijn eigen leven in te vullen.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This should probably be required reading for everyone.For some, it might even be a replacement for therapy(or at the very least, a complement to therapy).In only 150 pages, this poetic treatise packs a real punch.More than a novel it's an essay/monologue on the flux that is life.The flux that is us.Who am I? one, no one, 100000.Who are you? one, no one, 100000.At times it feels repetitive, but that's because it's a soul trying toexplain what everyone already knows but can't seem to get their headsaround. Or maybe we can get our heads around it, but it's too much.It's a soul trying to see itself, standing on the brink of the abyssthat is being and nothingness. And saying, look, isn't it marvelous?And yet but, despite the psychological and philosophical perspicacityof the ideas, the ending let me down. (...maybe I need to re-read it...?)And while I agree that we have multiple selves (both within us, and without us),those multiple selves are who we are (even the selves created outside of us).We can't just decide, oh no, that self isn't really me. Oh yes it is!But when we remember that this book is meant to be humoristic (think Tristam Shandy,a direct influence) (I laughed out loud several times), we forgive the flawsand smile as our happy protagonist (no one) becomes one with nature...
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5One, No One amd One Hundred Thousand by Luigi Pirandello took a long time to get through, even at 160 pages of very short chapters. (There are 63 chapters in the book, which is translated by William Weaver.)The story has an unreliable narrator, which is either part of the problem or part of the fun, depending on one's personal tastes I suppose. (I like an unreliable narrator now and then, myself.) The narrator of One, No One, and One Hundred Thousand, Moscarda, Genge to his wife, has come to the realization that no one knows who he really is. Everyone he knows sees him in such a different light, that if they were to describe him to each other, none of them would know who was being discussed. In fact, Moscarda himself no longer recognizes himself in their eyes at all. He has even begun to question his own interpretation of who he is. The man he sees in the mirror is not someone he recognizes anymore at all. Confused? So was I, but then so is the narrator.Moscarda's relationship with his wife sums things up fairly clearly. Moscarda's wife calls him Genge, and has created a version of Moscarda that she loves. Genge is handsome, caring, dotes on her, is a bit absentminded, but very, very loving--her ideal husband. The novel's central conflict comes from Moscarda's realization that the Genge his wife has been in love with has nothing to do with him. In fact, he becomes jealous of the man she thinks she is kissing when she kisses him. Who is this Genge that his wife loves? Not Moscarda. When he finally tells his wife that she does not know the real him, and tries to reveal the his true self to her, she finds she does not want Moscarda at all. She loves Genge and wants him back. So she leaves him. This is not an easy situation to get one's head around. The fact that the narrator may be the clearest thinker in his village or may be going slowly crazy, does not make the book any easier to follow. Still, I enjoyed the struggle. The situations Moscarda ends up in are often comic and suited my sense of humor, at least what I think my sense of humor is. That makes One, No One & One Hundred Thousand a love/hate book. I expect more people will hate it than love it, but there are probably many people out there who'll find it has much to say to their experience. Maybe 100,000 people, maybe just the one, me. After all, if you live long enough, there will surely come a morning when the face you see in the mirror is just not the same one you saw the day before
