Number 4 in the Don Camillo series, beloved by 23 million readers.
When Peppone loses out to Don Camillo on a matter of conscience he must accept the battling priest's presence among a group of communist activists on a trip he is organising to Mother Russia. Travelling incognito, Don Camillo becomes the life and soul of the Party and picks off his totalitarian comrades one-by-one in a hilarious riot of shrewd manipulation. But then fate intervenes and the travellers discover a surprise common denominator more radical than any political ideology...
'Those who read The Little World of Don Camillo will need no more than the news of this new volume to send them quickly to their bookshops so lovely, so humorous, and so wise.' Harpers & Queen
REVIEWS
'Written with such warmth and simplicity, so concerned with the trivialities of everyday life and giving us so shrewd a glimpse into the minds of the people . . .' London Evening News
'Inimitable, delicious, full of pure fun' --The Observer
'Charming and enchanting . . . Witty and wise' --Edinburgh Evening News
SOME SERIES READER REVIEWS
'These works deserve to be best sellers. I have been enjoying them for a long time and now I have the originals as written. It is interesting to compare the new translations with the Gollancz translations. Some of the stories are hard to even recognise! The revised translations make a lot more sense though and answer some questions I had. Excellent work and I shall be back for the next one.' Hesperus, 5 August 2020
'I first encountered Don Camillo as a teenager in the 70's and to discover new stories has been a glorious return to my youth. Guareschi's trinity of central characters: Camillo, Peppone and The Christ convey such a lively humanity that I am reminded, now in jaded middle age, of the hopes I once held. The stories are a humorous manifesto: humanity before ideology or creed.'Basil Clark, 2 March 2017
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Giovannino Guareschi, known as Giovanni to his millions of English language readers, was born at Fontanelle in the Valley of the Po on the 1st of May, 1908. His father wanted him to become a naval engineer. He, for the very enjoyment of going the opposite way, determined to become a lawyer, but found his vocation when he sent some cartoons he had drawn to the satirical magazine, 'Bartoldo'. Later he founded the satirical magazine, 'Candido', and wrote 346 stories featuring Don Camillo, a character who has done for Italy what Cervantes Don Quixote did for Spain.
