Features: This is a diary-style novel that records the life of a fourth-grade student, Anacleto, for nine months. Love is the main theme of the entire novel. Within the simple words, it incorporates the greatest love in the world: the love of teachers, students, parents, children, and classmates. Each kind of love is not earth-shattering, but deeply moving and thought-provoking. The entire novel examines the beauty and ugliness, virtue and vice around him through the eyes of a young student untainted by the world. There are acts of chivalry by Anacleto's close friend Carron, the selfless kindness of the class monitor, Doretti, who excels in both studies and character; there is also the vanity and narrow-mindedness of Tine, the arrogance and rudeness of Nepsis; and there is the simple and lovable "little stonemason," the indomitable Corso, who experiences life's every detail through love. The School for the Heart was completed by the Italian writer Amico over nearly a decade. The author was born on October 31, 1846, in the small village of Oneglia in the region of Liguria, Italy.
