Overview

Baron Lamberto is very rich - and very ill. He owns 26 banks and has been diagnosed with 26 deadly ailments. Only his butler, Anselmo, remembers them all. On the advice of an Egyptian sage, Lamberto hires an army of servants to repeat his name over and over again. It's a recipe, he's told, for eternal life - and surprisingly it works. But Lamberto's newfound youth is put at risk when a terrorist group lays siege to his private island in the mountains near Lake Orta. The Baron's army of bank directors is held hostage and an international media spectacle starts.

Reviews

Gianni Rodari gave free rein to his imagination, with inspired panache and gleeful lightness. At the same time, he had a precise and meticulous love for detail, for rich and exact language, and so all of his inventions are set in a very concrete world that takes form and action. <br><br>--Italo Calvino


Author Information

Gianni Rodari (October 23, 1920-April 14, 1980) was an Italian writer and journalist, most famous for his books for children. The recipient of the Hans Christian Andersen Award in 1970, Rodari is a household name in Italy among educators and parents, not to mention children, and is considered by many literary historians to be the country's most important writer of children's literature in the twentieth century. Influenced by French surrealism and linguistics, Rodari advocated poetry and language play as a way to recover the rhythm and sound of oral tradition and nursery rhymes. He is the author of The Grammar of Fantasy, a classic manual for teachers, as well as many books for children. Antony Shugaar is an author and translator. Among his recent translations are Everybody's Right by Paolo Sorrentino, Bandit Love by Massimo Carlotto, and Sandokan by Nanni Balestrini.
