Leonardo Sciascia
January 8, 1921 – November 20, 1989
Leonardo Sciascia chronicled his unique Sicilian experience, exploring the intricate connections between families, political parties, and the treacherous nature of alliances. His work delves into the subtle art of favors and allegiances that ultimately serve individual interests over societal benefit. Sciascia compellingly argued that the pervasive corruption within Italian society historically and presently empowers only those entrenched within secret societies, loyalties, and political establishments.
