José Carlos Mariátegui reader of Luigi Pirandello
Abstract
During the stay in Italy of the Peruvian writer, politician and philosopher José Carlos Mariátegui, among all the modern avant-garde movements, it was the Sicilian playwright Luigi Pirandello who caught his attention to the point of dealing with him in two writings: The Pirandello Case (Variedades, March 1926) and in 'Freudism' in contemporary literature (Variedades, August 1926). The amauta who participated in the famous Congress of Leghorn (Livorno) in 1921 in which the left wing of socialism founded the Italian communist party, spoke several times with Pirandello, as Anna Chiappe, Mariátegui's widow, recalled during an interview (Caretas, 1969 ). The «art of a decadence, art of a dissolution; but Pirandello's vigorous and original art[…]The most faithful and powerful artistic translation of the drama of the “disenchanted soul” (Mariátegui, 1926), was the art that Amauta most debated and studied to the point of stating that the Sicilian playwright would have anticipated the futurist Filippo Marinetti "this sexagenarian and Sicilian writer is, in truth, much more modern than the explosive and futurist Marinetti and his entire school" (Mariátegui, 1926). Based on the analysis of the writings about Pirandello made by Mariátegui, I will try to explore the traces of the Sicilian's thought in the works of the Peruvian writer, philosopher and politician.
