Review:
'Widely regarded as a true classic of Italian crime fiction, The Day of the Owl is an uncompromising portrait of Sicily. A detective story that is so much more; sharp and precise and demanding the reader to render judgement' --Absolutely Chelsea
'Irresistible... The finest classic sleuth writer' --Metro
About the Author:
'Irresistible... The finest classic sleuth writer' --Metro
LEONARDO SCIASCIA was born in Sicily in 1912 and died there in 1989. Like Joseph Roth, Sciascia worked with deceptively simple forms - books about crime, historical novels, political thrillers - and was a master of lucid and accessible prose. This polished surface conceals great depths of sophistication and an intense engagement with the moral and historical problems of modern Italy, especially of his native Sicily. His books are rooted in a particular culture; they speak to anyone who has ever wondered how people can endure unbearable injustice.

Book Description Soft cover. Condition: New. London. Granta Books Ltd. 2013. Reprint. Soft Covers. Standard paperback size. 122 pp. Illustrated cover by Dan Mogford. Translated from the Italian by Archibald Colquhoun and Arthur Oliver. Condition of book is new. This novel about the mafia is also a mesmerizing demonstration of how that organization sustains itself. It is both a beautifully, tautly written story and a brave act of denunciation. A crime has been committed in a public place. A dark-suited man was shot as he ran for a bus. The investigating officer of the crime soon finds that, in this small Mafia-run town, no one saw him fall. The author was born in 1912 and, like the protagonists in his novels, challenged the entrenched corruption in the Italian government of his day. He died in 1989.
