Giovanni Guareschi Livres
Ce journaliste, écrivain et humoriste a cofondé le magazine satirique "Candido". Ses œuvres les plus célèbres s'inspirent de la relation contrastée entre le prêtre Don Camillo et le maire communiste Peppone. À travers ces personnages, il a capturé avec maestria les tensions et l'humour de l'Italie d'après-guerre. Son écriture est riche en aperçus sur la nature humaine et les divisions sociales.
More timeless, bittersweet stories of life in Italy's Lower Plain, most of which appear in English for the first time. They begin, as the last collection ended, with Don Camillo in exile in the mountains, But it isn't long before this lightning conductor for problems in the Little World draws Peppone and all human nature to his door.
Beset by the third young progressive leftwing priest with a mandate to steer him into the modern world, Don Camillo digs in and finds a surprise ally in Peppone as he fights to save the three-metre high figure of il Cristo through which he conducts his famous conversations with God.
No. 7 in the Don Camillo Series, this bumper volume of classic Tales from the Lower Plain includes many never before translated into English. Beloved of 23 million readers worldwide, the appeal is universal, to readers aged from 10 to 100.
First time publication in the English language of 26 Don Camillo stories by Giovanni Guareschi.
