Overview

Esta quinta entrega de la serie consta de treinta casos que el comisario Montalbano debe resolver, cada uno de los cuales nos revela una faceta diferente de este policía tan peculiar.

Su creador, Andrea Camilleri, es uno de los autores más vendidos de Italia.

Un mes con Montalbano es una buena muestra del talento de Camilleri y la mejor forma de introducirse en el particular universo de su entrañable héroe, el comisario Salvo Montalbano, quien, desde el pueblo imaginario de Vigàta, en Sicilia, intenta comprender por qué las cosas son como son. Salvo es un hombre de mediana edad, melancólico y algo fatalista, pero sobre todo dotado de amplias facultades de expresión verbal. Soltero, con una novia que vive en Génova y a quien ve muy de vez en cuando, es un lector entusiasta de Sciascia y Bufalino, aprecia la buena cocina siciliana y disfruta de los suculentos platos que le prepara su vieja cocinera.

El abanico de delitos que abarca esta aventura es amplio. Premeditados, pasionales, financieros, mafiosos, políticos, y han sido cometidos por todo tipo de sujetos, jóvenes o adultos, hombres o mujeres, ignorantes o cultos. Algunos ocurrieron al inicio de su carrera, cuando Salvo aún creía en el poder de la justicia por encima de todo, otros demuestran que, en ocasiones, la inteligencia humana no es suficiente para comprender los móviles de un crimen. Una fina ironía y, sorprendentemente, una gran capacidad de compasión pueden ser igual de importantes para llegar a la verdad.

Enmarcada sin duda en la tradición de la gran narrativa siciliana, la escritura de Camilleri es también un homenaje a Sicilia, a su gente dura, terca, de pocas palabras, pero a la vez apasionada y con un gran amor por su tierra. Ellos son los habitantes de Vigàta y Camilleri los retrata como sólo un siciliano de pura cepa puede hacerlo.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

This fifth installment in the series gathers thirty cases that Inspector Montalbano must solve, each of them revealing a different aspect of this peculiar detective.

His creator, Andrea Camilleri, is one of Italy’s bestselling authors.

A Month with Montalbano is a good example of Camilleri’s talent and the best way to submerge in the particular universe of its beloved hero, Inspector Salvo Montalbano, who lives in the fictional town of Vigàta, Sicily, where he tries to understand why things are the way they are. Salvo is a middle-aged man, melancholic and a bit fatalist, but above all gifted with ample verbal skills. Single, with a girlfriend in Genoa he seldom sees, he is an enthusiastic reader of Sciascia and Bufalino, appreciates good Sicilian cuisine, and enjoys the scrumptious dishes his old cook prepares for him.

This adventure encompasses a wide range of felonies. Premeditated, crimes of passion, financial, mob related, and political, committed by all kinds of individuals, young or old, men or women, ignorant or educated. Some happened at the beginning of his career, when Salvo still believed in the power of justice above all else. Others showcase how, sometimes, human intelligence isn’t enough to understand the motive behind a crime—a fine irony and, amazingly, a great amount of compassion can be equally important to get to the truth.

Framed without a doubt in the tradition of great Sicilian narrative, Camilleri’s writing is also a tribute to Sicily, to its people, men and women of few words, tough, stubborn, and at the same time passionate, in love with the land. They are the people of Vigàta, and Camilleri portrays them like only a pure Sicilian could.
