«Cándido o un sueño siciliano» is the novel by Leonardo Sciascia, published by Bruguera, Barcelona, in paperback (213 pages, in Spanish).
An inspired recreation of Voltaire's Candide, the novel follows a protagonist who accumulates experiences and disappointments in modern Italy. Sciascia turns it into a satire of intellectual and ideological optimism and a reflection of his scepticism towards his country's recent history.
Originally published in 1977, this Spanish edition by Bruguera (Barcelona, 1983) features a translation by Ana Goldar.
Recommended for readers of political satire and social criticism, as well as for those interested in twentieth-century Italian literature.
