the end of this book are listed one hundred and fourteen names that do not appear in any of our renaissance stone, one hundred and fourteen died in the revolt of 1848 in Sicily. "Servants of punishment" - as they were called convicts in the bureaucracy of the time cards to record the services made with forced labor - Bourbon killed by police not to blame with special 'because' represented a real danger, if not that, perhaps, who have joined the insurgents. The authorities', the Bourbon and the unit for different responsibility 'for the same bad faith but it confused and hid the lot, and no historian is' never dealt with them. The silent killers and their accomplices made their careers under the Bourbons, first, and then into united Italy. The massacre Forgot draws from oblivion those names, track the killers, he reconstructs the motives. Reminds us, once again, as is more 'teacher' to that of the tombstones history and finding acres, tragic and humble truth '.
(Andrea Camilleri, Sellerio )
My opinion : a novel particularly, in the middle 'between historical reconstruction and yellow. In the background, a sad truth ': according to which they are always the most' weak and dispossessed to pay, while men and equipment for power, whatever they are, continue to manage our destiny.
