Corazon, diario de un niño (Clasicos para ninos) (Spanish Edition) - Softcover

Edmundo de Amicis. Nació en Oneglia en 1846, y fue el menor de cinco hermanos. Su padre se dedicaba al comercio de sal y tabaco; alternaba su trabajo con lecciones que impartía a sus hijos. Apasionado patriota, De Amicis estudió en un liceo en Turín y luego entró al Ejército, donde fue nombrado oficial. Como tal asistió a la batalla de Ustoza, en 1866.

Durante su carrera militar aceptó la dirección del diario L'Italia Militare que se publicaba en Florencia, hasta que consiguió dedicarse por completo a sus trabajos literarios. En 1868 escribió La vida militar y varios libros de lugares y costumbres, que tuvieron gran éxito. En 1883 se hizo famoso por su novela Los amigos. Además de Corazón (1886), De Amicis trató el tema de la escuela y la patria en varios libros. Al parecer, Corazón está inspirado tanto en su vida como en la de sus hijos y sus respectivos compañeros de clase. De Amicis murió en Bordighera, en 1908.
