The Heart of Boyhood is a book written by Edmondo De Amicis and first published in 1918. The book is a collection of short stories that revolve around the experiences of young boys and their adventures in Italy during the late 19th century. The stories are written from the perspective of an adult looking back on his childhood and the memories he shared with his friends. The book is divided into four parts, each focusing on a different aspect of boyhood. The first part, titled School, explores the joys and challenges of attending school, making friends, and learning important life lessons. The second part, titled Home, delves into the relationships between boys and their families, including their parents, siblings, and grandparents. The third part, titled Play, highlights the importance of play and imagination in the lives of young boys, as they explore the world around them and create their own adventures. Finally, the fourth part, titled Country Life, explores the beauty of nature and the joys of living in the countryside. Throughout the book, De Amicis emphasizes the importance of values such as friendship, loyalty, honesty, and hard work, as well as the need to appreciate the simple pleasures in life. The Heart of Boyhood is a classic work of children's literature that has been beloved by generations of readers. Its timeless themes and vivid descriptions of life in Italy during the late 19th century continue to resonate with readers today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
