Sobre este artículo
Published by Carcanet Press Ltd, Manchester; 1987. 8vo. 175pp. First edition, first impression. Condition: Fine/Fine. Translated from Italian by Sacha Rabinovitch.
Bound in original black cloth boards with title in gilt to the spine. The binding is square and tight and in excellent condition, free from marks or blemishes. Inside, the pages are clean and free from damage, with just some toning to the edges.
The book is housed in its original first issue dust jacket, which is in equally smart condition, with no signs of wear or damage other than a touch of bumping to the corners.
In all, this is a very smart example of this book by Sciascia. It brings together two of his most controversial works of investigative fiction: the Red Brigades' kidnap, 'trial' and murder of Aldo Moro; and the disappearance of brilliant young physicist, Ettore Majorana, in 1938, both reconstructed and recreated from facts, records, press releases and speeches. The Moro Affair was too sensitive for publication in Italy and first appeared in France and Sciascia wanted it to be a direct reflection of the facts upon which it was based. The mystery of Majorana, also based on fact, is equally as resonant and disturbing as the first tale and timeless in its implications.
