There is something about the number 3. The Ancient Greeks believed 3 was the perfect number, and in China 3 has always been a lucky number, and they know a thing or two. Most religions also have 3 this and 3 that and, of course, in these more modern times, three’s a crowd may be too many, except when it’s a ménage à trois. It seems good things usually come in threes.Whatever history and culture says WE think 3, a hat-trick of stories, is a great number to explore themes and literary avenues that classic authors were so adept at creating.From their pens to your your ears. 01 - 3 Stories - War At Home02 - War by Luigi Pirandello03 - Them Others by Stacy Aumonier04 - The Casualty List by Winifred Holtby

The Late Mattia Pascal

The protagonist, Mattia Pascal, finds that his promising youth has, through misfortune or misdeed, dissolved into a dreary dead-end job and a miserable marriage. His inheritance and the woman he loved are stolen from him by the same man, his eventual wife and mother-in-law badger him constantly, and his twin daughters, neglected by their mother, can provide him with joy only until an untimely death takes them. Death robs him even of his beloved mother. To escape, he decides one day to sneak off to Monte Carlo, where he encounters an amazing string of luck, acquiring a small fortune. 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.

La patente: Novella

Novella pubblicata nel 1911 e poi confluita nella celebre raccolta pirandelliana delle Novelle per un anno, La patente è testo assai emblematico sia per la poetica di Pirandello sia per alcune costanti editoriali dello scrittore siciliano. Innanzitutto, la vicenda de La patente ripercorre le tematiche principali della scrittura pirandelliana, mettendo in scena il dramma tipicamente novecentesco di un ”io” scisso e privato della sua stessa identità, che, per esistere, è costretto ad assumere la “maschera” che gli altri proiettano su di lui (con temi che ritornano da Il fu Mattia Pascal e che si ritrovano sia nella ricca produzione teatrale sia nei successivi romanzi, come Uno, nessuno e centomila).

La giara

Per la nuova raccolta delle olive, Don Lollò Zirafa acquista una giara nuova. Nella notte la giara misteriosamente si rompe e Don Lollò è costretto a rivolgersi all’artigiano Zi’ Dima, inventore di un mastice miracoloso. Don Lollò però non si fida del mastice, vuole anche i punti. Così Zi’ Dima deve entrare nella giara per fare i buchi e mettere i punti. Resta intrappolato dentro la giara: per uscirne dovrà romperla, scatenando la rabbia impotente e furibonda di Don Lollò.
