Adira ao LibraryThing para descobrir se irá gostar deste livro. Ainda não há conversas na Discussão sobre este livro. One of Sciascia’s best-known works, a collection of short stories about Sicily—a wide variety of subjects and moods, but all betraying a deep love for Sicily and its people(s). A terrific introduction, I think, to an author whose work I look forward to reading more of. ( ) Oh, I could easily give this five stars. I'd say it's the most readily accessible of his books that I've read thus far. Short stories, no real room to get Off Topic, these are tight and 'enjoyable', a word that doesn't seem suitable for his books in general. If you are thinking of trying this celebrated Italian author, this really does make sense as the way to start. Dip your toes....into the water of The Wine-Dark Sea.

This is such an interesting collection of short stories, and my first introduction to the Sicilian author, Leonardo Sciascia. The stories are distinctly different in plot, yet there were common threads throughout. They abound with passions, violence, revenge, betrayal, and family love and loyalty. I felt as though I was peeking into a culture which is at once a bit intimidating and deeply intriguing. Clearly, Sciascia is an erudite, articulate writer which brings a richness and depth to his stories that is icing on the cake! sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica
Prémios
Leonardo Sciascia was an outstanding and controversial presence in twentieth-century Italian literary and intellectual life. Writing about his native Sicily and its culture of secrecy and suspicion, Sciascia matched sympathy with skepticism, unflinching intelligence with a streetfighter's intransigent poise. Sciascia was particularly admired for his short stories, and The Wine-Dark Sea offers what he considered his best work in the genre: thirteen spare and trenchant miniatures that range in subject from village idiots to mafia dons, marital spats to American dreams. Here, in unforgettable form, Sciascia examines the contradictions-sometimes comic, sometimes deadly, and sometimes both-of Sicily's turbulent history and day-to-day life.
