«Cándido o un sueño siciliano» is the satirical novel by Leonardo Sciascia, published by Bruguera in paperback (224 pages, in Spanish).
The novel follows Cándido Munafò, born the very night the Allies land in Sicily in 1943. Raised by his grandfather, a fascist military man turned Christian Democrat deputy, and educated by an eccentric priest, Cándido questions the hypocrisy of twentieth-century Italy, from the Catholic Church to communism.
Translation by Ana Goldar. The Italian original was published in 1977 as «Candido, ovvero Un sogno fatto in Sicilia»; this Bruguera edition is from 1980 and belongs to the Libro Amigo collection.
Recommended for readers interested in twentieth-century Italian fiction and in political and religious satire.
