Al Arabi Publishing and Distribution, Cairo, has released an Arabic translation of “The Lions of Sicily”, a novel by Stefania Auci. Translated by Egyptian Leila al-Badri, the novel tells a decade-worth of stories about a El Florio family, which lived fame, wealth, power, love, betrayal, secrets, and revenge.
From the early 19th century till the 1930s, the members of El Florio family were the trade lords of Sicily. In their beginnings, they were poor spice vendors, then worked in tuna fishing, sulfur trade, metal molding and many other emerging industries at the time, which made them the lions of the famous Italian province.
