This contribution offers a reflective review of articles published about Sciascia for the centenary. The material under review provides the basis for an investigation into the distinctive semiotic traits of the everyday image of Sciascia. What emerges is a man of spirit who privileges his social roles as worker and writer over a sense of ‘self ’; a heretic who portrays power in all its guises; a seeker of what is just as an antidote to power; a man of letters who curates books and has faith in education; a lover of the arts nourished by visions to translate. Summing up what Sciascia has done, we see the formation of an identity which pushes beyond national confines to soar to a model for living.
