Guareschi was a joker about serious things. The most dangerous politicians are those who cloak their megalomaniac psychology in a political ideology that masquerades as a universal panacea for the human race. Guareschi is out to get them.
Giovanni Guareschi was born on May Day, 1908, in Fontanelle di Roccabianca. Conflict marked his life. A humorously provocative nature and the creative talents of a cartoonist, humorist and satirist led him to use the post-war conflict in Italy as a metaphor for conflict within and without all peoples, wherever they may be. Using the characters of a communist mayor, (Peppone), a Catholic priest (Don Camillo) and a speaking Christ above the high altar of the village church, his books have reached millions worldwide. Now, for the first time, in 12 newly translated volumes, the full complement of 364 stories are available for future generations.
