«The Wine-dark Sea» is Leonardo Sciascia's collection of short stories, published by Paladin in paperback (144 pages, in English).
The volume brings together stories that Leonardo Sciascia wrote between 1959 and 1972, which the author presented as a summary of his literary activity up to that point. The stories share a kind of circularity and portray Sicilian life with a lucid, bitter and disconcerting gaze that remains fully relevant.
English edition translated by A. Bardoni, recognized with the John Florio Prize in 1986. The Italian original, Il mare colore del vino, was published in 1973; this Paladin edition is from 1988.
