Synopsis
Giovanni Meli is the best poet who ever wrote in Sicilian and the publication of his Don Chuisciotti and Sanciu Panza, together with Moral Fables and Other Poems already published by Legas in Professor Cipolla's excellent translation, is an attempt to fill the gap in knowledge that exists about Sicily and its literature. But the volume has its own intrinsic values, for it offers its English-speaking reader an inventive and delightful rethinking of that archetypal couple:Don Quijote and Sancho Panza. Inevitably, it is an original and surprising commentary on Cervantes' novel. The characters bear the same names, but Meli's Sicilian forma mentis colors their actions. Sanciu and Don Chisciotti embody the quintessential dilemma between optimism and scepticism, idealism and pragamatism that troubles the Sicilian soul.
