A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

DON CAMILLO ... TALKING WITH GOD

In Don Camillo's Little World, where the Cold War is fought on the very doorstep of life, the hot-headed Catholic priest and the equally pugnacious Communist mayor, Peppone, confront one another in riotous and often hilarious manner.

But when Don Camillo unburdens himself in the village church a voice from the cross above the high altar responds and his conversations with Il Cristo begin. We watch and listen, as with fascinating insights and gentle humour the prejudices of the stubborn priest are undermined, a resolution to conflict emerges, and the situation is transformed to the benefit of the community.

It is then that we see that the ideas and values of Don Camillo's Little World are true for all times, the world over...

Présentation de l'éditeur :

In this brand new, authorised translation of Giovanni Guareschi's classic tale about the hot-headed Catholic priest, Don Camillo, and the equally pugnacious Communist mayor, Peppone, nineteen stories never before translated into English are published for the first time. Set in an isolated village in northern Italy, where every day eternal forces grapple with the absurd drama of life, The Little World has been enjoyed by countless people from 10 to 100, not only in book form, but in films, series on TV and radio, and most recently on YouTube, where Guareschi's message holds as good today as it always did, namely that what works at the level of the Little World can be made to work universally, the world over.
