Dr Kralowa to jedna z moich najulubieńszych wykładowczyń z italianistyki - dzięki niej odkryłam mnóstwo nieoczywistej literatury włoskiej, w tym Sciascię. Wspaniale się czytało (żal tylko, że już nie mogę brać udziału w jej konwersatoriach)!

Una piacevole sorpresa. Avevo già letto due libri di Sciascia, ma nessuno dei due mi aveva impressionato, tantomeno colpito. Evidentemente la terza volta è stata quella buona perché Il consiglio d'Egitto mi è proprio piaciuto. Interessanti le tematiche, scorrevole e incisivo. Promosso!

Started out with a wonderful scene that promised much joy to come, but then lost direction and went too deep into the political and social intricacies of Palermo of the time, and I couldn't be bothered to delve into that.
