Zusammenfassung: | The 'Sciascia phenomenon' is characterized by journalists' and critics' search for biographical information on Leonardo Sciascia, an Italian writer who is considered one of 20th-century's most intellectual men. In believing that literature must have a 'moral' goal, this immensely learned man wrote not only due to his love of writing but mainly due to his desire to talk about justice. In promoting the pursuit of justice, Sciascia professed his knowledge of the Sicilian reality and of how this reality has extended into the rest of the modern world. |
