«Los tíos de Sicilia» is the short story collection by Leonardo Sciascia, published by Bruguera in 1984 in paperback (277 pages, in Spanish).
It brings together four stories that portray with irony a Sicily isolated after the Second World War, divided between the American way of life and the communist illusion; a town shaken by the revolutionary echoes of 1848; and a miner who, driven by poverty, ends up fighting in the Spanish Civil War alongside the Francoists.
Work originally published in 1958 as «Gli zii di Sicilia», with a translation from the Italian by Rossend Arqués. It is part of Bruguera's Libro Amigo collection (no. 990).
Suitable for those interested in Italian fiction, short stories and historical fiction with a satirical tone.
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.
