In 'Les dues vegades del baró Lamberto', Gianni Rodari introduces us to an old and wealthy baron named Lamberto, afflicted with twenty-four diseases. To combat his fear of death and oblivion, he decides to hire six people to recite his name incessantly, day and night. This peculiar method, based on the wisdom of ancient Egypt, unleashes a series of surprising changes in the baron's life. A children's story that explores themes such as old age, wealth, and the mysteries of life.
Giovanni Francesco "Gianni" Rodari was an Italian writer and journalist, most famous for his works of children's literature, notably Il romanzo di Cipollino. For his lasting contribution as a children's author, he received the biennial Hans Christian Andersen Medal in 1970. He is considered Italy's most important 20th-century children's author, and his books have been translated into many languages, though few have been published in English.
