Best of Sicily : Andrea Camilleri

About 10 million copies of his novels have been sold to date,
and are becoming increasingly popular in the UK and North
America.

In a 53:20 mn movie,
Andrea Camilleri, writer and
André Buytaers, film director
lead you on an imaginary trip
across both historical and
modern Sicily.

(click on image).

Just finished to read "Il Sonaglio", the last novel of Camilleri's
metamorphosis trilogy and I'm even more impressed than I was
by the talent of the writer and the humour and thoughtfulness
of the man.

The Camilleri language.
and a glimpse to Sicily's history-geography-society.
