Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a powerful examination of the lives of brother and sister Zita and Salvatore growing up in the poverty imposed by ancient Sicilyâs modern mining towns. The author explores the beautiful Sicilian countryside and its legacy of ancient Greek architecture as a contrast to the harsh living conditions that force the siblings to work from a young age. Zita is employed as a knitter, contributing to the family income while Salvatore works on digs, supervised by the archaeological authorities. The book is rich in imagery of ancient Greece and we learn that the author believes Zita, with her dark hair and expressive eyes, would have been a daughter of the house in those ancient times rather than a child of the twentieth century. As the book develops we see themes of a woman's âplaceâ and the kinds of love on offer for a young woman in Sicily in the 1920s. The insights on offer here are eye-opening and thought-provoking, leaving the reader with a new perspective on this beautiful country's history. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781331152125_0
