«El contexto» is the crime novel by Leonardo Sciascia, published by Tusquets Editores S.A. in paperback, with 176 pages in Spanish.
Inspector Rogas, with relentless intellectual tenacity, investigates the murder of prosecutor Varga and a series of crimes that seem unconnected. In an imaginary country where ideas have no value and power is self-sufficient, the investigation becomes a parable about corruption and mafia power.
It belongs to the Andanzas collection from Tusquets, number 150. The work was originally published in 1971 under the title «Il contesto. Una parodia».
It is aimed at readers of crime fiction, Italian literature, and political criticism who seek a story with social background and an oppressive atmosphere.
Leonardo Sciascia was an Italian writer, novelist, essayist, playwright, and politician. Some of his works have been made into films, including Porte Aperte, Cadaveri Eccellenti, Todo Modo and Il giorno della civetta.
