'As much a history of the deeply crooked culture of Italian politics as it is a vivid biography of one man' SUNDAY TIMES 'Fascinating' SPECTATOR 'Vivid and disturbing but utterly compelling' DAILY MAIL

Corruption, sleaze and violence were woven into the fabric of twentieth-century Sicilian life, as the Mafia rose to dominance. This is the story of one man who stood in opposition.

In 1986, the largest Mafia trial in Italys history took place in Sicily: 471 men and 4 women took the stand, accused of horrific crimes. Sitting in the gallery was Leonardo Sciascia. One of the greatest European writers of the twentieth century, he had published the first Mafia novel, The Day of the Owl, in 1961, and was widely seen by Italians as a true moral figure in a country where corruption had seeped into every corner of public and private life.

Sciascia had come of age as the Mafia grew to prominence across Sicily. Witnessing the scale of corruption and violence, Sciascia predicted it would soon spread north, and he was right: by the 1980s, the Mafia had infiltrated every level of Italian politics and grown into an international, highly successful business.

In A Sicilian Man, prize-winning historian and biographer Caroline Moorehead charts Sciascias life against the rise of the Mafia, and lays out the thrilling and devastating struggle that ensued for Italys soul.

'Magnificent and deeply affecting' PHILIP HENSHER

'Vivid and knowledgeable... This feels like the book [ Moorehead] was destined to write' LUCY HUGHES-HALLETT
