«Gli zii di Sicilia» is Leonardo Sciascia's collection of short stories, published by Adelphi in paperback (241 pages, in Italian).
Leonardo Sciascia's first work as a storyteller, this collection of short stories moves between Sicily and Spain during the civil war. It includes «L'antimonio», a long tale that almost works as an interrupted novel, and addresses with lucidity episodes such as the Allied landing, the deceptions of history and attention to detail.
The work was originally published in 1958 and appears as number 60 of Adelphi's Fabula collection.
For readers of Italian literature, short stories and twentieth-century historical fiction.
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.
