Don Camillo
I had a hard time finding this book, but the seller was exceptionally kind, and so helpful.Even though he was going on a trip.It arrived in wonderful condition.I purchased it as a gift which I know will be enjoyed.I plan on further purchases.Since it is in Italian, I didn't read it but I have a copy in English.My brother is studying Italian but also enjoys the Don Camillo Series.He couldn't find inexpensive books in Oregon, where he lives.

Good book for students of Italian
This book, written in Italian, is based on a vocabulary of about 1200 words (Level B). Difficult words are explained in simple Italian (no English translations), and throughout the book you will find manydrawings of animals, objects or situations that provide additional help in understanding the story.

The story tells the life of a Catholic priest in a small Italian village just after the war. He has to reconcile the political views and rules of the city government with the social needs of his congregation--and he does so in a sometimes humorous, sometimes pathetic, way. Some of the problems and solutions are quite bizarre but give interesting insight into a different culture.

Other Italian books for advanced beginners are "Ti ho sposato per allegria" by Natalia Ginzburg, "Mio marito" by Dacia Maraini, "Veleno a colazione" by Tiziana Merani (with CD), "La casa sulla scogliera" by Cinzia Medaglia (with CD), and "Delitto in piazza del campo" by Maria Luisa Banfi (with CD). ...

Don camillo
This is a wonderful book.It can be read any number of times. Still it does not lose its innate humour and charm.As a political satire it is even better than any of George Orwell's books.A book for all times and for all ages. Human foibles and weaknesses and Divine Virtues are abundantly portrayed in this book.It makes fun of the Catholic Church as well as the Communists.A truly inspiring work. I am only sorry that I do not know Italian.Since to read it in the original language would give the greatest pleasure.If anyone is not satisfied after reading it.Tell me .I will buy it from you. I have given this book away to many of my friends and foes alike.
yours sincerely ,
