«Los tíos de Sicilia» is a collection of four short stories by Leonardo Sciascia, published by Maxi-Tusquets in paperback (256 pages, in Spanish).
Four early stories: «La tía de América» and «La muerte de Stalin» satirize a Sicily divided between the promises of the American way of life and communist hope; «El quarantotto» brings the 1848 revolution to a Sicilian town; «El antimonio» follows an Italian miner forced to fight with the fascists in the Spanish Civil War.
The work was originally published in 1958 under the title «Gli zii di Sicilia»; this 2001 edition is number 175 in the Tusquets Fábula collection.
Readers interested in twentieth-century Italian literature and short stories with historical background.
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.
