The idea for I SICILIANI came during Lou's time in Tuscany where, working in land development, he gained the opportunity to know many Sicilians, and came to understand their background, passions and what motivates them. This work of fiction looks at Sicilian history, the founding of La Cosa Nostra, and the values that shape it. It explores how the tentacles of the Sicilian way reach north into Tuscan life. The book teems with the themes of intrigue, conspiracy, murder, religion, politics and sex. The arrest of a sitting mayor in Tuscany and the subsequent illegal investigation of the local maresciallo, as well as the involvement of a Cosa Nostra family, bring into play the battle Italy has had with corruption and the lengths its people will go to for power....

When Danilo Docli, peace worker, organizer, educator, first arrived in 1952 in Trappeto, a village of peasants and fishermen in western Sicily, there were no streets, just mud and dust, not a single drugstore, not even a sewer. (In fact, the local dialect didn't even have a word for sewer.) Like other Sicilians, the villagers, seen by many Italians as bandits, dirt-eaters, and savages, had, in effect, been mute for centuries. Dolci's years of work broke this silence. The result is Sicilian Lives, a book which reveals the intimate experiences and perceptions of a wide range of Sicilians, rural and urban, through voices that are sometimes frightening, but always fascinating and unexpected. Danilo Dolci has collected a rich panorama of voices--the eloquent testimony of Sicilians who, at last, are speaking out to penetrate the most profound dilemmas of an impoverished land.

The Sicilians is crime fiction -- a bracing take on a mafia saga, with a fresh and innovative storyline, and a cracker of a climax. Book one outlines the adventures of a group of Sicilians in the Western Sicilian village-towns of the Belice Valley -- some are members of the Cosa Nostra brotherhood and others are ordinary people whose lives are controlled by them. Each has their own power struggles and agendas. Book two has all the ingredients of a best seller. It can be read stand alone and is where the book shines. It finds the key characters in transit to Sydney, Australia where the action culminates, with the addition of dirty cops, stand-over men and new murderers.

Danilo Dolci is the renowned "Gandhi of Sicily." Since 1952 he has conducted a nonviolent crusade against the misery and violence of Western Sicily. A Passion for Sicilians portrays his struggles against official apathy and Mafia pressure, his long series of hunger strikes to arouse the public conscience, and his calls for measures to eradicate poverty. The book also brings to life the people of Partinico, the fascinating neighbors Mangione knew on Via Emma. We meet a Mafia killer, the Cardinal of Sicily, a Sicilian princess who defies the law as she spreads the gospel of family planning, and the denizens of Palermo's infamous slums. Written in a highly engrossing style, this book is an exciting rendition of an old world groping toward new values. Jerre Mangione is professor emeritus of American literature at the University of Pennsylvania. During his sojurn in Italy in 1965, he was a member of Dolci's staff and one of his closest confidants. Mangione is the author of nine other books.

For centuries, Sicilian "men of honor" have fought the controls of government. Between 1820 and 1860, rebellions shook the island as these men joined with Sicily's intellectuals in the struggle for independence from the Bourbon Kingdom of Naples. This lively account—the first to locate the emergence and evolution of the mafia in historical perspective—describes how those rebellions led to the birth of the modern mafia and traces the increasing influence of organized crime on the island. The alliance between two classes of Sicilians, James Fentress shows, made possible both the revolution and the mafia. Militancy in the ranks of the revolution taught men of honor how to organize politically. Communities then resisted the demands of central government by devising alternative controls through a network of local groups—the mafia cosche.Fentress tells his operatic story of honor and crime from the viewpoint of the Sicilians, and in particular of the great city of Palermo—from Garibaldi's historic arrival in 1860 to the spectacular mafia trials around the turn of the century. Drawing on police archives, trial records, contemporary journalism, and government reports, he describes how enduring political power plus a (richly deserved) reputation for violence helped the mafia secure covert relationships with groups that publicly denounced them. These contacts still protect today's mafiosi from Rome's efforts to eradicate the organization. The history of the mafia is indeed, Fentress shows, the history of Sicily.

Was Luc short for Lucifer? Darci wondered, because Luc Gambrelli was the most sinfully tempting man she'd ever encountered! Her plan was simple: she'd teach womanizer Luc a lesson by leading him on then dumping him. But the irresistible Sicilian turned the tables on Darci! Unable to resist Luc's seduction, Darci feared he'd discover she wasn't a sophisticated tease, but was an innocent—and in way over her head!
