Giovanni Guareschi

    1 mei 1908 – 22 juli 1968

    Deze journalist, schrijver en humorist was medeoprichter van het satirische tijdschrift "Candido". Zijn beroemdste werken putten uit de contrasterende relatie tussen de priester Don Camillo en de communistische burgemeester Peppone. Door deze personages ving hij meesterlijk de spanningen en humor van het naoorlogse Italië. Zijn schrijven is rijk aan inzichten in de menselijke natuur en maatschappelijke tegenstellingen.

      In Merry Christmas Don Camillo the author's Christmas stories appear alongside his war-time experiences in the prison camps of Germany and Poland, out of which he formed the polemic that would underwrite his work. Included are many tales new to English-speaking readers and some of the best that Guareschi ever wrote.

      Questi episodi di "Mondo piccolo" sono tra le più belle favole che Giovannino ha raccontato ai lettori di "Candido" tra il 1951 e il 1961, come dicono Alberto e Carlotta Guareschi. Qui ci sono infatti personaggi, luoghi, atmosfere già noti, consciuti nei libri precedenti, che il lettore ritrova con immutato piacere.In questi racconti non sempre don Camillo e Peppone sono protagonisti (anzi, in alcuni non compaiono neanche), ma il mondo della Bassa, il "mondo piccolo", è sempre lo stesso, con le sue passioni, i suoi litigi, la sua fede (politica o religiosa), i suoi personaggi indimenticabili.

      Ciao, don Camillo

Tutto è lecitoper raggiungere il loro scopo salvo dimenticare l'amicizia, il buon senso, laprofonda umanità che li anima. Il grande fiume che scorre pacifico, il piaceredi incontrarsi di nuovo con due personaggi ormai a tutti noti.
