It is the story of a povertystricken family and its extraordinary grandfathera veritable elephant of a man. One of the recognized classics of modern literature, In Sicily (Conversazione in Sicilia, 1937) recounts a city mans rediscovery of himself and the basic values of life when he returns for a visit to the primitive Sicilian village where he was born.
