Leonardo Sciascia

About
Reviews

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.

Praise for Leonardo Sciascia Sicilian novelist Leonardo Sciascia died in 1989, but several of his titles are worthy of mention. The Wine Dark Sea is a collection of short stories, while To Each His Own is a quirky murder mystery and The Council of Egypt is about a Maltese monk who is asked to translate an Arabic manuscript but instead invents every word and uses the money to manipulate Palermo's aristocracy.
