Description: A collection of four novellas. In these stories, illusions about ideology and history are lost in mirth and in suffering, and innocence is abandoned. Each novella has a historical moment: the Allied invasion of Sicily; the Spanish Civil War; the death of Stalin; and the "events" of 1848.
Notes: Translation of: Gli zii di Sicilia.
Table of contents: title: The American aunt; title: The death of Stalin; title: "Forty-eight"; title: Antimony.
