Synopsis "Corazón (Bolsillo Everest) (in Spanish)"

La infancia y la adolescencia de EDMONDO DE AMICIS (1846-1908) coincidieron con la cristalización en Italia del poderoso movimiento de unidad nacional en el cual colaboró activamente como oficial del ejército que llevaría a la creación del estado italiano moderno. Autor de novelas, de libros de poesía y de viajes, así como de estudios militares y literarios, el escritor genovés debe, sin embargo, su fama universal a CORAZÓN, obra publicada en 1866 que obtuvo de inmediato un enorme éxito de público. El elogio del trabajo honrado, la exhortación al patriotismo, el canto a las virtudes cívicas y la defensa de los sentimientos más nobles del ser humano alternan con relatos breves como «De los Apeninos a los Andes» y «El tamborcillo sardo», que se proponen reforzar mediante historias ejemplares las enseñanzas de pedagogía moral y amor a la nueva Italia dirigidas a los jóvenes escolares.

Educated at the military academy in Modena, De Amicis was appointed an artilleryman. He wrote numerous sketches of military life for the army newspaper, L'Italia militare, and became its editor in 1867; his stories were compiled in La vita militare (1868; Military Life in Italy, 1882), followed by Novella (1872; “Short Stories”), considered by some critics as his best work.
