Abstract

SINCE LUIGI PIRANDELLO left The Mountain Giants unfinished at his death on December 10, 1936, many people believe that it is his last play. He began to write it sometime in 1929/ early 1930, which was a period of great creative productivity for him; he produced Lazarus, Tonight We Improvise, and As You Desire Me, among others, and all were completed. Pirandello was busy with the composition of the Giants for some six years, up to the penultimate night of his life, according to his son, Stefano. What were the difficulties which prevented him from finishing this play?
