    The Author focuses on literary construction of Mafia's Myth; from the Spanish origin in Cervantes to the "setta" of Beati Paoli and the Invention of Tradition of Cosa Nostra in 20th Century.

L'autore ripercorre, con esempi inediti, il nesso tra rappresentazione dei miti mafiosi - tra questi quello della setta dei Beati Paoli - e il modificarsi del fenomeno mafioso e delle sue manifestazioni, fino al mito moderno dell'onore in "Cosa Nostra" e alle forme di consenso e legittimazione ad esso connesse.
