Both books in Dick Rosano’s ‘Sicily Chronicles’, a series of historical fiction set in Italy, now in one volume!
Islands Of Fire : Luca travels to Sicily in search of his family roots and meets Vito, who takes him back in time to when the island was settled by seafaring people, fought over by warring tribes and invaders. From Anu and Baia’s arrival 11, 000 years ago to Telia and Sapira’s agricultural revolution, Sicily’s history is rich and diverse, with the Sicani, Elymi, and Siculi tribes settling the island 3, 000 years ago. Through invasions by Arabs, Greeks, Carthaginians, and Romans, the reader journeys through the volcanic origins of the island to the era of the Roman Empire. Islands of Fire explores the role of Sicily, a waystation in the Middle Sea, at the heart of western history.
Crossroads Of The Mediterranean : Luca’s journey to his parents’ homeland in Sicily becomes a deep exploration of the island’s rich and diverse history, from Roman dominion to invasions by Byzantines, Muslims, Normans, French, Aragonese, Bourbons, and even the forces of North America. Crossroads of the Mediterranean takes the reader on this journey, chronicling the roots of this true melting pot, the island in the Middle Sea, from the time of Julius Caesar to the present day.
