Description
This debut book by elementary school teacher Marcello D'Orta presents an amusing collection of sixty essays by students from Arzano elementary school. It was considered by critics a bestseller of biblical power, where rebellion, ignorance and bad education become expression, even revolution of the language. It renews faith in the existence of Napolitano humor as an autonomous literary genre. An encounter between the unknown and childlike thought that is both grandly serious and comical.

Author Biography
MARCELLO D'ORTA was born in 1953 in Naples. A primary school teacher, he taught in the Napolitan territory for fifteen years. This experience inspired and provided him with the material for his first book, io speriamo che me la cavo, which turned out to be a sales success, something unprecedented for a book of the genre, adapted for the cinema in 1992 by Lina Wertmüller
