Abstract: South of mainland Italy lies the island of Sicily, home to an ancient culture that--with its stark landscapes, glorious coastlines, and extraordinary treasure troves of art and archeology--has seduced travelers for centuries. But at the heart of the island's rare beauty is a network of violence and corruption that reaches into every corner of Sicilian life: Cosa Nostra, the Mafia. The author lived in southern Italy for over fourteen years and recounts its sensuous pleasures, its literature, politics, art, and crimes.--Publisher's description
