«Il segreto di Luca» is the novel by Ignazio Silone, published by Mondadori in paperback (186 pages, in Italian).
The novel tells the story of Luca, a man unjustly sentenced to life imprisonment, and that of Andrea Cipriani, a politician who sets aside his duties to understand the reasons behind that sentence. It is a tale of silent injustice, the search for truth, and the secrets and prejudices of a village in rural Italy.
The work was originally published in 1956 and this 2001 edition is part of the «Classici Moderni» collection from Oscar Mondadori.
A novel for readers of twentieth-century Italian classics and for those seeking stories of injustice and secrets.
Secondino Tranquilli, best known by the pseudonym Ignazio Silone, was an Italian politician and writer. He became famous during World War II for his anti-fascist novels. Considered among the most well-known and read Italian intellectuals in Europe and in the world, his most famous novel, Fontamara, became emblematic for its denunciation of the condition of poverty, injustice, and social oppression of the lower classes, and has been translated into numerous languages. From 1946 to the 1970s, he was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature at least 13 times.
