Brief description
Four detective novels and a play: based on the study of texts by L Sciascia and Dario Fo. The module will consider why Italian society, against all reason and during a period of unprecedented economic growth and well-being, was wracked by the seemingly unchecked power of the Mafia and by the acts of terrorist groups.
