«Il segreto di Luca» is the novel by Ignazio Silone, published by Biblioteca Universale Rizzoli in paperback (215 pages, in Italian).
«Il segreto di Luca» is set in a rural environment: Luca Sabatini, sentenced to life imprisonment for a murder he did not commit, returns to his village when the real culprit appears. The community marginalizes Luca, who suffers a second sentence and clings to a secret, unattainable love; it is a reflection on judicial error and justice.
1989 edition from the BUR collection, with an introduction by Geno Pampaloni; the novel originally appeared in 1956.
For readers of classic Italian fiction and stories about judicial errors and justice.
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.
