«Don Camilo» is the comic novel by Giovanni Guareschi, published by Planeta in paperback (240 pages, in Spanish).
Set in Boscaccio, a fictional village in the Po Valley in postwar Italy, the novel pits the parish priest Don Camilo against the communist mayor Pepone. Their disputes, between comedy and tenderness, reflect the political tensions of the era and portray with irony a community trying to rebuild itself.
First installment of the Don Camillo series, originally published in 1948. The translation is by Fernando Anselmi.
For readers who enjoy humor with historical background, Italian literature, and stories of small towns with big conflicts.
Giovannino Oliviero Giuseppe Guareschi was an Italian journalist, cartoonist and humorist whose best known creation is the priest Don Camillo.
