FORMAT Paperback CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description No. 11 in the Don Camillo seriesMore shrewd and colourful observations of life in Italys widest and most fertile plain, stories so authentic and telling that time and again they reverberate with insights relevant not only locally but also internationally, and even to our lives today. Guareschi mines his satire with an eye for paradox. War creates unity (Peppone battles side-by-side with Don Camillo in the Italian Resistance). Then peace spells conflict as the communist mayor and village priest find themselves the local bigwigs in all-out war between East and West. Meanwhile, Christ above the altar in the village church is, with wisdom and gentle humour, still striving to keep the peace between the two titans, their minds clouded with ideology and the need to win. Author Biography Giovanni Guareschi was born in the village of Fontanelle in the Valley of the Po in 1908. He is known the world over as the creator of 346 amusing, highly satirical stories featuring Don Camillo, the hot-headed village priest, and Peppone, the similarly pugnacious communist mayor.
