Sicilian Uncles
de Leonardo Sciascia

Sobre o livro
Four novellas that offer a tantalising glimpse of Sicilian life, from the 1848 revolution to the death of Stalin. The expression 'Sicilian uncle' has the same sense in Italian as 'Dutch uncle' does in English, but with sinister overtones of betrayal and inconstancy. The four novellas in 'Sicilian Uncles', originally published in 1958, are political thrillers of a kind - the first fruits of Sciascia's maturity. Each novella has its historical moment: the Allied invasion of Sicily, the Spanish Civil War, the death of Stalin, and the 'events' of 1848. Reissued with a stunning new cover.
