This week’s half-price, easy reader ‘eBook of the Week’ is the B2 (upper-intermediate) -level Indagine su un cittadino al di sopra di ogni sospetto.
The 1970 political thriller on which this ‘easy reader’ is based was a massive success for director Elio Petri, winning many prizes, including that year’s Oscar for the Best Foreign Language movie.
The story takes place in Rome in the summer of 1969, at what would be the beginning of Italy’s ‘years of lead’. It reflects on the power of the apparatus of the state, and the roles played by those who worked within it or rebelled against it.
