The Little World of Don Camillo (No. 1 in the Don Camillo series)

Product Information

The Little World of Don Camillo was adapted by the Thai writer and politician Kukrit Pramoj into his own 1954 novel, Phai Daeng (Red Bamboo). The Catholics and the communists are battling for the soul of a small village. It's to be hoped that neither side ever wins. Nor is it likely that either side ever will win. This would spoil everyone's fun.

Set in Italy around 1946 and 1947, this book tells stories of a local priest, Don Camillo and the local Communist Mayor Peppone. They have quite the rivalry, with Don Camillo not being in favor of Peppone's Communist actions or beliefs. They have quarrels regarding just about everything, with Don Camillo coming out on top, mostly. You should at least try a few of the stories. Get the book at the library, then you can return it when you have had enough. Victory, as such, is never sought; the wry wisdom of il Cristo seeks not supremacy but equanimity within the Little World, which is achieved through an understanding and acceptance of what being human means. Giovanni's message is that what works at the micro level of the Little World can be made to work universally, the world over. Really nice quirky little stories of the rivalry between the local priest and the local (communist) mayor in a small village in rural Italy.

In Le Petit Monde de Don Camillo (released in Italy as simply Don Camillo) one of the characteristics is a certain balance between the two countries, since the original author, the place of action, and one of the two stars are Italian, while the director, the screenwriters, and the first star are French. The crew and the rest of the cast are also equally divided between both nations. Senza la serie di film ispirata ai libri di Guareschi, che ho sempre "adorato" e che non perdo occasione di rivedere in tv ogni volta che li trasmettono, probabilmente il mio giudizio sarebbe stato leggermente inferiore: un po' perché non sospettavo minimamente che il Don Camillo non fosse un romanzo con un corpo unitario, bensì un insieme di scenette che alla fine compongono un quadro abbastanza variegato e omogeneo, un po' perché in alcuni frangenti il linguaggio è superato e talvolta ci sono riferimenti a usanze contadine della Bassa con l'utilizzo di termini a me incomprensibili. I got this book as a gift and it was a funny, heartwarming, enchanting little story, unlike anything I have read. Don Camillo: Monsignor (Italian: Don Camillo monsignore ma non troppo; French: Don Camillo Monseigneur) [9] This book is a collection of stories featuring, Don camillo, a burly, earthy and deeply conservative catholic priest and his opponernt, the communist mayor of the village, Peppone. The stories are set in a village on the Po river valley of Italy in the immediate post war years. Catholics and communists had formed a united front in fighting off Fascism and nazism during world war 2 but once the war got over they find themselves at loggerheads. Although the conflicts between Don Camillo and Peppone always are on substantial issues, these are ultimately resolved in a good natured way; often with Peppone giving way. These are amusing stories that prove that there is a shared humanity that can bridge polittical and ideoplogical divides.

Actually, of all those adjectives, `Italian' was the first to leap to mind. I can't believe the IMDb has decided to classify this film under a French name. `Things happen there that could happen nowhere else in the world,' says the narrator. It's easy to believe.

He is a big man, tall and strong with hard fists. For the films, the town chosen to represent that of the books was Brescello (which currently has a museum dedicated to Don Camillo and Peppone) after the production of movies based on Guareschi's tales, but in the first story Don Camillo is introduced as the parish priest of Ponteratto. Don Camillo's Last Round (Italian: Don Camillo e l'onorevole Peppone; French: La Grande Bagarre) [8] (1955) Julien Duvivier was 55 when he filmed Le petit monde de Don Camillo in the Italian town of Brescello. [4] Both Don Camillo and Peppone are large, strong men, violence is never far away but mostly avoided. Peppone realises that Don Camillo has the edge in physical strength, but Don Camillo (sometimes reminded by Christ) tries to restrain himself.

As the author notes in the preface of the first book, not the Christ, but "his" Christ, the voice of his conscience. Don Camillo is the huge, brave, impetuous priest in the small, Po valley in Northern Italy, after WWII. Peppone – equally enormous, and stubborn, is the leader of the local communists and the town mayor. For most of the stories in this volume, the two men are at loggerheads with each other, although, ironically, they are often each other’s most likely confidantes and allies, when things get tough.A vociferous priest and a Communism-sympathizing mayor put aside their differences when danger threatens their village. It has always been odd to me - an atheist since my teens - that I love these books so much, but I came to realise over time that the stories are not about the triumph of Christianity over Communism but rather the triumph of humanity over cruelty, ignorance and brutality.
