Synopsis "El Consejo de Egipto (in Spanish)"


El Consejo de Egipto es la historia de una impostura. En el siglo XVIII, en la alejada Palermo hasta la que también llegan los aires y las luces de la Razón, un orondo personaje, el abate Vella, va a poner en entredicho los más conservadores y arraigados cimientos de la sociedad siciliana. Para congraciarse con la Sacra Real Majestad de Nápoles, el clérigo, ávido de riquezas, finge traducir un códice de la época de la dominació árabe en Sicilia. Lo que está haciendo, sin embargo, es inventar, con talento de escritor y conocimientos de humanista, El Consejo de Egipto, documento que va a sembrar el terror entre los nobles al descubrir al mundo que los privilegiuos de la aristocracia carecen de legitimidad histórica. Como en tantas otras ocasiones, la anéctota de la formidable estafa servirá a Leonardo Sciascia para llevar a cabo una irónica y siempre lúcida reflexión sobre la naturaleza y contradicciones de los hombres.

Maurice-Marie-Émile Leblanc (Rouen, December 11, 1864-Perpignan, November 6, 1941), better known as Maurice Leblanc, was a French novelist and short story writer

Born into a wealthy family, his father was a rich shipowner based in Rouen. After finishing his law studies, he dedicated himself to working in various industries in the region. After a while not applying himself much to industrial work, he moved to Paris, where he began his literary career, from around 1892 until 1904. He published about ten books, the first of which was titled: Des Couples (Couples).

In 1904, Pierre Laffite, director of Je sais Tout, commissioned him a story for his newly founded magazine. Maurice accepted the commission and soon delivered an original titled "The Arrest of Arsène Lupin". According to the author's own words, this was the only Lupin story he had planned. However, Pierre Laffite was strongly impressed by the character and encouraged Leblanc to develop the character.

Thus, at forty years old and with a literary prestige earned by his previous works, Arsène Lupin was born from the hand of Leblanc, a gentleman thief, whose work consists of almost 20 books.
