Come pensano i vescovi : Sciascia e Paul-Louis Courier

2023 - Leo S. Olschki

P. 9-16

  • Sciascia's short story Come pensano i vescovi (How the Bishops Think) is inspired partly by letters which Paul-Louis Courier wrote from Italy in 1806. This essay sets out parallels and divergences between the letters and the story and shows that, though the subjects of Come pensano are quite serious, Courier appears rather a jocular figure. The image of Courier derived from the letters thus complements the better known image of him as a defender of the downtrodden, which helps inspire Le Parrocchie di Regalpetraa (Salt in the Wound).
