Description
Soldado, poeta, ensayista y viajero, Edmundo de Amicis tiene presente los exaltados
momentos de fervor patriotico que vivio en su adolescencia y que concluyeron con el
establecimiento del primer parlamento nacional italiano en 1861. El romanticismo que construyo
Italia se deja sentir en su obra del modo mas humano y acogedor: la bondad, la honradez, la
compasion, el amor a su tierra y a sus gentes son las propuestas del autor; una nueva
formacion espiritual y moral para los jovenes nacidos de la violencia y la guerra.p En Corazon,
un joven italiano nos abre su diario. Asistimos con el a su primer dia de escuela, conocemos a
sus maestros y a sus companeros, vamos a las librerias y acudimos a los desfiles de soldados.
Mes a mes, durante un curso escolar, nos muestra las cartas de sus padres y nos deleita con
cuentos donde encontrramos a viejos conocidos de nuestra ninez. En estas paginas, en los
objetos y en las gentes, aprendemos a descubrir las emociones y a valorar los sentimientos
que nos hacen mejores.
Insightful reviews
Tabasco: "Cuore" means "Heart" in Italian. This "classic" book by Edmondo De Amicis
describes the life of an Italian school class a few years before 1900, as seen through the eyes
of a boy, Enrico.
Given that the book was published in 1886, and was later utilized for political propaganda by
many governments, not only in Italy, there are some fascinating aspects to the book's history.
But before touching on that, I'd like to say this is at its core a very poetic, touching little book. So
despite all the political and ridiculously patriotic themes, I really liked it as it stands as a fine
portrait of pure feelings, and innocence. Some readers found it sad, I didn't. The author
explained how he was inspired to write it by his own son, Furio, and his love for school.
The book reads as an utopistic and moralistic fable. Everything and everyone in "Cuore" is
idealized - the book was meant to teach school kids the moral values and model behaviours of
an idealized Italian citizen. To better understand the source of these values, we need to
consider that De Amicis was part of the Italian elite, and his father held a high government post.
The people who engineered the unification of Italy in 1860 had one common arch-enemy: the
Pope and the Church, who opposed the inclusion of Rome in the new Kingdom of Italy. As a
consequence, the school kids in "Cuore" spend their entire school year without ever mentioning,
thinking, seeing, or going to a church, which is clearly unrealistic given that (for good and for
bad) the Catholic Church has always had an immense influence in the day to day life of Italians.
Even Christmas is totally ignored!
Interesting fact: the book was taught in many Italian schools, and that's often enough to make
you hate a book: "Oh, God, not "Cuore"!!"
Back to the political themes: it's not too clear whether De Amicis wrote this as pure propaganda
for the King, or that was just part of the process. One thing is for sure: according to this book,
the perfect kid is the one who sacrifices his own life for his nation and his King. I like to think
that this was just a reflection of the author's beliefs, after all patriotism did make sense in those
times (personal note: today it doesn't. Ok to be proud of your country, stupid to be irrational
about it and think that your country's citizens are "better" than anybody else).
Through its sensitivity to social issues such as poverty, "Cuore" has been initially linked to leftwing ideologies. De Amicis was later to join the Italian Socialist Party. Because of this, the book
remained influential in countries of the Eastern Bloc. However, its patriotic message was later
adopted by Mussolini's government and there are still people who remember "Cuore" being
used as fascist propaganda.
In conclusion, I don't know what the author's true purpose was, I just want to remember this
book in a good light. Many Italians, when reading this book, comment "These were times when
values still mattered!". I don't think that is correct at all. A more precise statement, in my opinion,
would be that "Cuore" reminds us of a time when things were much simpler than today, and, as
a consequence, it was easier for everybody to point out the right and the wrong.
Despite the soppiness, and the utopistic and moralistic tendencies, "Cuore" is still a very poetic
and inspirational book.
Sylvia Snow: Cuore è un libro che prima o poi tutti i professori di italiano nominano e lodano
come se fosse il miglior libro di sempre. NON È COSì.
Io amo leggere, ho letto certi tomi che erano di una pesantezza infinita, ma mai come questo
libro, giuro. Avevo la bava alla bocca già dalla prima pagina. E questo non perché sono troppo
"piccola" per un libro del genere, ma perché è proprio una palla.
Auntie Pam: Uno dei classici per ragazzi più belli che abbia mai letto. E' così ricco di valori
morali e civili che non capisco perchè a scuola non venga mai proposto come lettura, almeno
per la lettura estiva! In tutto il libro ricorre lo spirito patriottico, frase esemplare per me sarà "Chi
rispetta la bandiera da piccolo la saprà difendere da grande". Personalemnte io non sono molto
patriottica nel senso pieno del termine, ma dopo questa lettura ho sentito uno slancio d'amore
per la mia terra, il mio Paese. Sono raccontati significativi episodi di immigrazione, sia dal Sud
al Nord, che episodi di emigrazione in America Latina, quando eravamo noi che riempivamo i
barconi della speranza, ed ogni volta non c'è lo scontro, ma l'accoglienza. Ogni racconto
mensile, ogni lettera dei genitori di Enrico, ogni riga, è piena di un buon esempio o di un giusto
consiglio, e leggere questo libro mi ha fatto sentire che posso essere migliore. Tra tutti i ragazzi
della classe ovviamente ci si affeziona a Garrone, ma io mi sono immediesimata in Stordi, con
la sua passione per i libri e la sua libreria piena di volumi rilegati di tanti colori. Cinque stelle
piene.

Sara: Sapendo che copre un intero anno scolastico e che gran parte delle vicende si svolgono
in aula, ho pensato fosse interessante leggere com'era l. a. vita in classe un secolo e mezzo fa.
Ma non credo di averlo potuto scoprire. A parte il buonismo didattico e l'ammonimento paterno,
il racconto edificante e l'esaltazione del patriottismo, rimane un diario scritto appena benino,
abbastanza noioso e assolutamente incapace di presentare l'Italia come davvero era. Può darsi
fosse istruttivo, un tempo, ma i valori che cerca di inculcare, che parrebbero eterni, sono lontani
secoli luce anche dalla realtà di pochi decenni dopo e persino se contestualizzati si riducono
advert una propaganda di ubbidienza, rigore, l'amor di patria, viva i soldati, se muoio in guerra
muoio da re. A me è venuto spesso in mente Mussolini e mi è sembrata una reazione
tristissima. Non lo consiglierei advert un bambino - l'infanzia non deve avere a modello il
soldatino che si fa ammazzare pur di sbrigare l. a. commissione del comandante o l'emigrato
orfano di nove anni che rifiuta l'elemosina perchè gli hanno insultato l. a. patria. Promuoviamo
comportamenti positivi equilibrati, come l'amicizia e l'altruismo senza cadere nello
strappalacrime, l. a. difesa dei deboli senza pietismo, l. a. responsabilità civica senza l. a.
necessità di medaglie o di eroi. Credo che lo si sarebbe potuto fare anche ai tempi di De Amicis
- anzi, ne sono sicura. I personaggi poi sono assolutamente statici e non evolvono in alcun
modo nel corso della vicenda. Sono stereotipati, caratterizzati di volta in volta da un particolare
fisico o dell'abbigliamento, dalla storia familiare o da un atteggiamento. E lì rimangono fino alla
high quality del libro, quando l'estate libera tutti in line with le proprie strade. Ricche di
prospettive in keeping with chi già all'inizio prometteva bene e miserevoli consistent with chi un
futuro roseo neppure se lo può immaginare. Perchè è giusto così, evidentemente. Ogni cosa al
suo posto, sennò a chi fare los angeles carità in keeping with esibire l. a. propria compassione?
Lee Kokle: This ebook was once really learn to me for the 1st time. My brother, who's a
passionate reader, had a convention of examining me books ahead of sleep and this used to be
certainly one of them. at the moment i didn't know it much, simply because even if this can be
one of many kid's publication assortment known as "Spr?d?ša bibliot?ka", it really is truly a
ebook solid for youths and adults.De Amicis touches extremely important feeling referring to
households and portrays Italy on the time of unification. He portrays diversified social issues,
reminiscent of poverty that used to be unfold via Italy on the time and he does that throughout
the eyes of a shool children, in particular, the most hero Enrico Bottini and his family. Enrico is a
major tuition scholar and he comes from an top category yet at school, there are operating
classification young children round him. those teenagers are ready as function types for Italy as
such making a bright photo of the methods of residing on the time. Enrico gets letters from his
mother, father and sister. They show their challenge and desires him to do good in lifestyles
seeing all of the little ones round him who're very different. It occasionally is difficult for Enrico to
justify his personal doing due to his background.De Amicis has performed an excellent activity
and this booklet is an instance for adults and teens alike, in the course of the time as the social
matters met within the booklet are visible at the present time besides and nice family members
values are expressed and underlined within the book.
