Elchin – Il mio pazzo preferito e altre opere
preface by Stefano Bruno Galli
The plays of Elchin, the “Azerbaijani Molière”, one of the most eclectic and original authors of the Caucasian country, now considered a living classic.
IL LIBRO: Three precious theatrical texts set in Azerbaijan. Already famous in Soviet times, through his works Elchin combines tradition and modernity: his writing fascinates the reader with an unmistakable style and a cutting irony that critics have defined as “an innovative realism”. His theatrical texts focus on philosophical issues related to the meaning of life, investigating the mystery of existence and exploring the fine line between life and death, genius and madness.

University professor, author of numerous essays, monographs and plays, translated into twenty-three languages.
