General Fiction斯科塔的太阳（中经典精选）
(france) Laurent Godet
As soon as "Sun of Scota" came out in 2004, it was unanimously praised by the jury, publishers and media of the Prix Goncourt, and won the Prix Goncourt that year in one fell swoop. The novel uses metaphorical writing and hot, dry words to depict the legendary story of three generations of the Scotta family in a small town in southern Italy. This is a family born from the union of "a deceitful man and a woman who accepted his lies". The despicable life background of the predecessor as a robber made the descendants humiliated and marginalized everywhere. However, they resisted the pressure and fought hard to rewrite the family's history. They lived proudly and happily because "under the sun of Puglia, people are as eternal as olives." The novel has beautiful words, beautiful vocabulary, and vivid descriptions of many scenes, allowing us to see a passionate Italy.
