«El contexto» is the crime and political novel by Leonardo Sciascia, published by RBA in paperback (165 pages, in Spanish).
Prosecutor Varga is found murdered, and Inspector Rogas, a methodical man, becomes obsessed with the case. What seems like an isolated crime turns into a chain of inexplicable deaths. In an invented country where ideologies empty out and power is woven like a mafia plot, the story is a fable about corruption and political paranoia.
Published in the Narrativa actual collection (no. 81), it is a translation by Carmen Artal of the Italian original «Il contesto» (1971).
For readers of crime fiction and political satire, and for those interested in twentieth-century Italian literature.
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.
