Quote of the Day
Carcanet has always backed its convictions with courage and energy, something the smaller presses often do best (though Carcanet is, by any standards, one of the larger ones now.) New reputations have been advanced, old ones restored, a host of deserving classics and byways of literature given a new illumination

Leonardo Sciascia
|
Leonardo Sciascia (1921-1989) was Sicilian by birth and vocation. Sicily is the fierce locality that focuses his work and, in a peculiarly pure form, exemplifies the political, social and spiritual tensions of a Europe modern only to a degree. |
