Synopsis "Amor y Gimnasia (in Spanish)"

Colección: Literatura rey learDescubierta y rescatada por Italo Calvino en la colección que dirigió para la editorial Einaudi, Amor y gimnasia ofrece la cara másEncuadernación: Rústica humorística e irónica de Edmondo de Amicis, el escritor italiano que tantas lágrimas ha hecho llorar a millones de lectores en todo el mundo con su novela Corazón. También aquí hay un trasfondo educativo, que en este caso versa en torno a los maestros de gimnasia, magníficamente representados por la atractiva y atlética señorita Pedani, que atrae la atención de los vecinos de la casa turinesa donde vive. Los saltos y acrobacias de la Pedani no dejan impasible a nadie, pero sobre todo vuelven loco de amor a su vecino de abajo, el secretario Celzani, de gran corazón pero de escasa apostura debido sobre todo a los ademanes adquiridos en la sacristía donde lo educó un cura tío suyo. La historia de amor entre esta exuberante maestra de gimnasia y su apocado enamorado encubre un alegato feminista sobre la igualdad del hombre y la mujer que se adelanta a la época en que fue escrita, poco después de la unificación italiana. El pintor Manuel Alcorlo ha ilustrado con su poderoso talento y maestría para describir la figura humana esta novela traducida por primera vez al español por Paloma Alonso Alberti.

Educated at the military academy in Modena, De Amicis was appointed an artilleryman. He wrote numerous sketches of military life for the army newspaper, L'Italia militare, and became its editor in 1867; his stories were compiled in La vita militare (1868; Military Life in Italy, 1882), followed by Novella (1872; “Short Stories”), considered by some critics as his best work. He also wrote poetry (collected in Poesie, 1880), novels, travel diaries, and essays. But his most important work is the sentimental children's story Cuore (1886; 1st English translation, 1887; best translation, The Heart of a Child (1960), written as a school diary, was translated into more than 25 languages.
