Talk:One, No One and One Hundred Thousand

I don't care what you think about the quality of the article, but the importance and even fame of Pirandello's novels in Italy are MUCH, MUCH higher than than of, say, Jane Austen or George Eliot. This is clearly a question of profound cultural bias, folks.

Note that general notability need not be from the perspective of editor demographics; generally notable topics should be rated similarly regardless of the country or region in which they hold said notability. Thus, topics which may seem obscure to a Western audience—but which are of high notability in other places—should still be highly rated. --Lacatosias 13:35, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

quite agree! that is why wikipedia is co-operative - I bow to your greater knowledge. Please don't burn the ignorant. :: Kevinalewis : ^{(Talk Page)}/_(Desk) 13:40, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

Fair enough. I just wanted to clarify: not ALL of Pirandello's novels are of the same level of importance as this one. But this one is, in particular, is definitely a required text in high-schools, universities and so on. There are two or three others that are almost universally read over here and then the plays. The poetry and short stories, though also outstanding in quality--Lacatosias 13:48, 10 July 2006 (UTC), are little known and read, IMO.

The older English translation (by Samuel Putnam) is titled One, None, and a Hundred-thousand. Depending on what the policy is, perhaps the title of this article should be changed to that? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.127.71.81 (talk) 19:57, 17 January 2021 (UTC)
