«Los tíos de Sicilia» is Leonardo Sciascia's collection of short stories, published by Planeta in hardcover (100 pages, in Spanish).
With mordant irony, these stories portray post-war Sicily, caught between the promises of the American dream and communist hope. It includes «La tía de América» and «La muerte de Stalin», along with other tales covering the Allied invasion, the Spanish Civil War and the events of 1948.
Work originally published in 1958 as Gli zii di Sicilia; this edition is part of the Clásicos Contemporáneos Internacionales collection, volume 6.
For readers of Italian literature and short fiction with social criticism: acerbic stories connecting Sicily's history with the twentieth century.
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.
