While reading a newspaper on his return home, he discovers, to his immense shock and delight, that his wife and mother-in-law declared an unknown corpse to be his own. Faced with this sudden opportunity to start afresh, he first wanders about Europe, and finally settles down in Rome with an assumed identity. His character develops in unexpected, even admirable, ways.

Yet one admirable act brings the protagonist a crisis, followed by additional crises that lead him to conclude that continuing with his plans will entail only misery for those he loves, precisely because his entire life, including the precious liberty he thought he had gained from his past, is now a lie. He ultimately decides to fake his own death and return to his original life. But even that proves difficult; his family and town have long since adjusted to his "death," and his own adjustment of character prompts him to have mercy on his now remarried wife.

Kindle Edition Verified Purchase. Rileggere un classico della letteratura contemporanea e pirandelliana, a tanti anni di distanza dagli obblighi scolastici e con la mente sgombra da condizionamenti accademici, mi ha positivamente sorpreso e fatto apprezzare questo libro ironico, pungente, arguto e gradevolissimo. One person found this helpful.

Un vero capolavoro della letteratura italiana. I didn't understand much of this, but it was interesting to read.
