About this audiobook

Pubblicata originariamente nel 1910, "Il viaggio" verrà poi inserita nel 1928 all'interno delle celebri "Novelle per un anno". La novella venne poi portata sul grande schermo nel 1974 dal maestro Vittorio De Sica alla sua ultima regia cinematografica.
Adriana Braggi è rimasta vedova e per 13 anni ha osservato un lutto rigoroso e una rigida clausura. Un'inaspettata malattia però la costringe a lasciare per la prima volta il suo piccolo paesello nell'entroterra siciliano.
Insieme al cognato Cesare compirà dunque un viaggio che le farà scoprire cos'è stata la sua vita, proprio nel momento in cui è più vicina a perderla.
Un viaggio che rappresenterà una vera e propria epifania per la povera Adriana che arriverà prima a Napoli e poi a Venezia.
Il viaggio di Adriana è ormai finito, ma sta per iniziarne un altro ancora più misterioso e pieno di incognite.

Luigi Pirandello

Luigi Pirandello (1867-1936) was an Italian playwright, novelist, and poet. Born to a wealthy Sicilian family in the village of Cobh, Pirandello was raised in a household dedicated to the Garibaldian cause of Risorgimento. Educated at home as a child, he wrote his first tragedy at twelve before entering high school in Palermo, where he excelled in his studies and read the poets of nineteenth century Italy. After a tumultuous period at the University of Rome, Pirandello transferred to Bonn, where he immersed himself in the works of the German romantics. He began publishing his poems, plays, novels, and stories in earnest, appearing in some of Italy’s leading literary magazines and having his works staged in Rome. Six Characters in Search of an Author (1921), an experimental absurdist drama, was viciously opposed by an outraged audience on its opening night, but has since been recognized as an essential text of Italian modernist literature. During this time, Pirandello was struggling to care for his wife Antonietta, whose deteriorating mental health forced him to place her in an asylum by 1919. In 1924, Pirandello joined the National Fascist Party, and was soon aided by Mussolini in becoming the owner and director of the Teatro d’Arte di Roma. Although his identity as a Fascist was always tenuous, he never outright abandoned the party. Despite this, he maintained the admiration of readers and critics worldwide, and was awarded the 1934 Nobel Prize for Literature.
