Camilleri’s works are based on some opposite pairs; one of these can be thoroughly investigated through a comparison between the historical novel Il re di Girgenti and two novels of Montalbano’s series: La caccia al tesoro and Il metodo Catalanotti. In these works, we can find two different types of truth: on the one hand, a strong and moral truth, which the author expresses – it seems a paradox – also through the forgeries he prepared for his historical novel; on the other, a likely but not necessary truth, which emerges from Camilleri’s last detective novels, as sign of author’s skepticism.

Abstract
Camilleri’s works are based on some opposite pairs; one of these can be thoroughly investigated through a comparison between the historical novel Il re di Girgenti and two novels of Montalbano’s series: La caccia al tesoro and Il metodo Catalanotti. In these works, we can find two different types of truth: on the one hand, a strong and moral truth, which the author expresses – it seems a paradox – also through the forgeries he prepared for his historical novel; on the other, a likely but not necessary truth, which emerges from Camilleri’s last detective novels, as sign of author’s skepticism.File in questo prodotto:
