In February 1925, the 58-year-old world-famous playwright Luigi Pirandello met Marta Abba, an unknown, beautiful actress less than half his age, and fell in love with her. She was to become, until his death in December 1936, not only his confidante but also his inspiring muse and artistic collaborator, helping him in his plans to reform Italian theater under the Fascist regime. Pirandello's love for the young actress was neither a literary infatuation nor a form of fatherly affection, but rather an unfulfilled, desperate passion that secretly consumed him during the last decade of his life. Bitterly disillusioned by the conditions of the theatrical world in Italy, Pirandello and Abba shared a dream of going abroad to earn their fortune and returning to Italy with the means to establish a national theater dedicated to high artistic standards. In March 1929, when Marta finally yielded to family pressure and left Pirandello alone in Berlin to revive her Italian stage career and to end rumors over their involvement, he endured a devastating heartbreak and fell into a life-threatening depression--more profound and long-lasting than any of his biographers have yet imagined. The hundreds of letters Pirandello wrote to Abba during these years are the only source that reveals the true story of his relentless torment. Selected, translated, and introduced here for the first time in any language, these powerful and moving documents reward the reader with the unique experience of living in intimacy with a profound poet of human pain. Here Pirandello encourages his beloved in her difficult career as actor/manager, rejoices in her triumphs, and desperately implores her to return to him. The letters are filled with glimpses of this major artistic personality at some of his most distinctive moments--such as the award of the Nobel Prize, his meetings with Mussolini, and Marta's long-dreamed-of success on Broadway--but they remain foremost an authentic confession of a Pirandello, without the mask of his art, telling the story of his real-life tragedy. In 1986, two years before she died, Marta Abba authorized the publication of the present correspondence so that the world might understand how deeply Pirandello had suffered. This English-language volume contains a selection of 164 letters from the complete edition of 552, which Princeton University Press will publish in cooperation with Mondadori, in the original Italian, in 1995. Originally published in 1994. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.

Italian edition In spring 1994, Princeton University Press announced its publication of the English-language edition of Luigi Pirandello's letters to Marta Abba, a young actress who in the last years of the playwright's life became his confidante, inspiring muse, artistic collaborator, and, to his profound despair, the unattainable object of his love. Written between 1925 and 1936, these powerful and moving letters to Abba are the only source that reveals the true story behind the hopeless passion that had secretly consumed Pirandello until his death. Presenting the first translation of these writings in any language, the English edition contains a selection of 164 letters. The press now offers the Italian-language edition, which comprises 552 letters, nearly the complete set of the known documentation in the original language. The Italian volume contains a useful scholarly apparatus and appears in a new easy-to-read format. The hundreds of letters Pirandello wrote to Abba during these years reward the reader with the unique experience of living in intimacy with a profound poet of human pain. They are also filled with glimpses of this major artistic personality at some of his most distinctive moments--such as the awarding of the Nobel Prize and his meetings with Mussolini. The letters, however, are foremost an authentic confession of Pirandello, without the mask of his art, telling the story of his real-life tragedy. Benito Ortolani is Professor of Theatre at Brooklyn College and at the Graduate Center of the City University of New York. He is the founder and editor of the yearly International Bibliography of Theatre, and the author of The Japanese Theatre: From Shamanistic Ritual to Contemporary Pluralism (Brill/Princeton).

Much has been written about Luigi Pirandello, the great artist and grandiose personality. His beloved actress, Marta Abba’s side of the story, on the other hand, has never been adequately told.It’s a tale that includes intriguing behind-the-scenes vignettes of the early history of filmmaking, including Pirandello’s suspicions of Walt Disney; Marta’s meeting with Mussolini – a fan of hers – and her candid impressions of him; Marta’s marriage of convenience into the prominent Millikin family of Ohio; glimpses of an Italian media dynasty and its heavy-handed influence on the arts in general, and on Pirandello’s legacy and Marta’s career in particular.This book sketches out the story of a modern romance between an author and an actress, between an artist and his collaborating muse, between an older man and younger women. It also attempts to tackle the subject of Marta’s sexuality – an aspect of her life that has been little known until now.
