The book starts from the short story La realta del sogno in which Pirandello, with an implied reference to Pascal, poses the theme of the ambivalence between waking and dreaming that characterises great texts of his maturity. Even in the early Brancati, the dream is often confused with reality, but he then overcomes Pirandello’s absurdity in the name of realism, arriving at a Christian conception of life. Sciascia follows in their footsteps, whose work here emphasises the historical-literary and poetic quality of a constant oneiric dimension that is articulated around the classical image of man as the ‘dream of a shadow’.
