Publisher Comments:

The
Heart of a Boy. Required reading in Italian schools since 1886, 'Cuore'
is the Huckleberry Finn of Italy - the most read classic in the
country. Translated from the Italian by Desmond Hartley.

Synopsis:

Required
reading in Italian schools since 1886. Cuore is the most read classic
in the country. Presented in the form of a diary, its subject is a
young boy's life in Turn following Unification in 1870. The narrator
Enrico, writes vividly of school life and the bustling city of
vegetable-sellers, chimney sweeps, and carpenters all around him. Like
Huck Finn or Dickens. Cuore has been adapted into just about every
conceivable medium - there are films, major IV series, radio
adaptations, plays and comic books. From Henry Miller who wrote a
glowing monograph on the book, to world-famous tenor. Andrea Bocelli,
who wrote a song about it this simple tale of childhood has inspired
all kinds of people and continues to do so today.
Though it is a little idealistic, this book tells you how to create
heaven in this world of trouble. The boy Enrico is of fairly decent
birthline and is blessed with wonderful parents who love him by
teaching him what is right and wrong, and how to respect and give
compassions to those who are not as blessed.
Most of the children in
this book are very very poor, and their parents are just as troubled as
their children. De Amicis gives warm, gentle, compassionate embrace to
these people, no matter how wretched or bad they might be, and tries to
bring hope and encouragement to them through how Enrico and his loving
parents relate to them. Enrico is not a perfect boy, he makes lots of
mistakes, behaves disrespectful at times, and receives corrections. His
parents are very strict and they don't slack off in raising their boy.
Their corrections sometimes seem too harsh, but one can tell they come
from true love, and Enrico understands that.If all parents in this
world teach their children this way, we would have a much much better
world.
It's
an ideal, but it can be real, and to make it real, one should start
reading this book and learn how to make this world heaven, instead of
wasting one's precious time watching violence-filled meaningless movies.
I would recommend parents and teachers to read it, though it's a very good book for your children as well.
