A summer worth reading with Andrea Camilleri. Five years after his death, L'Unione Sarda and Il Sole 24 Ore (in collaboration with Sellerio editore Palermo), remember a great master of our time, to discover (or rediscover) his entire work . On newsstands After “Riccardino”, the latest investigation of Inspector Montalbano, the most famous creature of the Sicilian author, published posthumously at the behest of Camilleri himself, the series continues with “Il cuoco dell'Alcyon”, on newsstands from tomorrow, 3 August . The great adventure Published 25 years after the commissioner's first appearance in the novel "The shape of water", this is the most adventurous investigation of which he is the protagonist, a true "Iliad of trouble" as Salvatore Nigro happily defined it, a novel in which the echoes of the Mediterranean literary tradition of which Camilleri is part resonate strongly. The detective stories of Vigata The dismissal of the workers of a hull factory is the dramatic start of a story that soon turns into an insidious and increasingly intricate plot that involves the dismantling of the Vigàta police station, an inexplicable FBI plot, the appearance of a ghost vessel and an undercover mission on board it, until the composition of the final solution thanks to the talent of the inimitable Police Commissioner Montalbano. A month of readings The selection of novels and short stories, however, does not stop at the detective stories featuring Salvo Montalbano - the inspector who gave him popularity, the one most loved by male and female readers, the one who boasts more attempts at imitation than anyone else - but continues throughout the month of August with humorous and love stories set in Vigàta born from the author's inexhaustible imagination, up to the historical and fantastic novels, true gems of his production. Italian and Sicilian A series of works that testify to the variety of forms to which Andrea Camilleri has dedicated himself over the years, refining work after work an unmistakable voice and language, that unique mixture of Italian and Sicilian today familiar to millions of readers, the vivid and sensual settings, the unforgettable characters that gave life to a gallery of unforgettable figures. The next releases The next releases are scheduled for August 10th (“Eva's pension”), August 17th (“Gran Circo Taddei”), August 24th (“La seta degli angeli”) and August 31st (“La cappella family's"). Andrea Camilleri's books are offered on newsstands at the price of 12.90 euros plus the price of the newspaper L'Unione Sarda or Il Sole 24 Ore .
