One, None, and a Hundred-Thousand by Luigi Pirandello is a brilliant and thought-provoking exploration of identity, self-perception, and the fluid nature of human existence. In this novel, the protagonist, Vitangelo Moscarda, is thrust into an existential crisis when a simple remark from his wife about his appearance leads him to question who he truly is. Struggling with the realization that his identity is not fixed but rather a construct of others' perceptions, Vitangelo embarks on a journey that challenges the very essence of self.

With its fascinating mix of psychological depth and philosophical inquiry, Pirandello delves into the unsettling truth that our understanding of ourselves may be nothing more than a collection of shifting identities-one to each person we encounter. As Vitangelo grapples with the concept of "one" identity, "none" as a true self, and "a hundred-thousand" versions of himself reflected in the eyes of others, the novel challenges readers to reconsider their own perceptions of identity and the roles they play in the world.

This illustrated edition enhances the experience of Pirandello's groundbreaking work, offering 20 stunning illustrations that bring the story's complex themes to life. With a detailed summary, a character list, and an insightful biography of the author, this edition provides readers with a deeper understanding of one of the most significant plays in modern literature.

Dive into the world of One, None, and a Hundred-Thousand, where the boundaries between self and illusion blur, and the search for authenticity becomes both a personal and universal journey.
