Italian literature in Reclams' red series: this is the original Italian text - unabridged and unedited, with word explanations at the bottom of each page, a postscript, and literary references. Don Camillo and Peppone - brilliantly portrayed in the films by Fernandel and Gino Cervi - have amused millions. For this volume, the most beautiful and typical stories from the more than 300 tales about these two strong-willed characters have been selected. They bring Guareschi's "mondo piccolo" back to life, the small world of a village somewhere in the Po Valley, where the lovingly and humorously depicted petty war between the village priest and the communist mayor takes place. Italian reading: Level B2 (GER).
