«El contexto» is the crime novel by Leonardo Sciascia, published by Bruguera in paperback (191 pages, in Spanish).
Prosecutor Varga is murdered while handling the Reis case. Inspector Rogas, driven by intellectual rigor, becomes obsessed with the case: crimes against judges and prosecutors follow one another in an imaginary country. Between fear and silence, power becomes an almost mafia-like plot in which ideas barely matter and only power rules.
Subtitled «Una parodia», it is Carmen Artal's translation of the Italian original «Il contesto» (1971); this Spanish-language edition dates from 1981 and belongs to the Libro Amigo collection.
For readers of crime fiction and Italian classics, with an interest in political and social criticism.
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.
