(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. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDolci’s years of work broke this silence. The result is \u003ci\u003eSicilian Lives\u003c\/i\u003e, 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. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDanilo 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. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eWith a foreword by John Berger\u003c\/i\u003e","brand":"Pantheon","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43380055179519,"sku":"9780394749389","price":19.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9780394749389_s600x595.jpg?v=1782149159","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/products\/9780394749389","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
