{"product_id":"the-late-mattia-pascal-dedalus-european-classics","title":"The Late Mattia Pascal (Dedalus European Classics)","description":"\"Pascal, a landowner fallen on hard times and trapped in a miserable marriage, runs away from home and wins a lot of money at the gaming tables in Monte Carlo. Meanwhile a body has been found in the millrace of his village and it is assumed that Pascal has killed himself. Seizing what looks like a chance to create a new life, he travels to Rome under an assumed name and struggles to invent a different identity which he can inhabit. He fails, returns home, finds his wife has remarried and has to act out the role of being as it were a living ghost. All these tragic events are recounted with verve and wit and comes across clearly in Simborowski's spirited translation from the Italian.\"\nRobert Nye in The Guardian\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1903517990\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.1903517990.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Pirandello, Luigi|Simborowski, Nicoletta\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
