Un viaggio di Sciascia in Spagna nel 1982

Of all of Sciascia's travels through the Iberian Peninsula, one of the most demanding was his visit in the autumn of 1982. From the very beginning, the writer's journey was characterised by a tightly packed programme, with engagements in various universities and institutions in Valencia, Alicante, Barcelona, Salamanca and Madrid. This article reconstructs the stages of his visit, focussing on his visit to Alicante, outlining the activities he undertook and the relationships that he established with various professors and prominent cultural figures in Alicante at the time. The article aims to introduce and contextualise a long interview with the writer which was published in Spanish in the journal Campus in 1983. [Publisher's text]
