«1912 + 1» is the historical novel by Leonardo Sciascia published by Maxi-Tusquets in paperback (136 pages, in Spanish).
In 1913, in San Remo, Countess Tiepolo shoots Quintilio Polimanti, her husband's assistant, whom she accuses of attempted rape. The trial reveals contradictions, but the family's defense prevails. Sciascia reflects on justice and portrays a turbulent Italy: the divorce debate, the Libyan war, the Futurists and Pirandello.
First published in 1986, translated by José Ramón Monreal; this edition is number 169 of the Fábula collection from Tusquets.
For readers of historical and mystery novels, and for those seeking a literary approach to early 20th-century Italy and to Sciascia's work.
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.
