Hardcover. Condition: Good. No Jacket. Zukerman, A. (illustrator). In Hebrew. 63 pages. 181 x 119 mm. Edmondo de Amicis (21 October 1846 - 11 March 1908) was an Italian novelist, journalist, poet and short-story writer. He attended the Military Academy of Modena, became an Army officer in the new Kingdom of Italy, fought in the battle of Custoza during the Third Independence War, a defeat of Savoy forces against the Austrian Empire; the spectacle left him disappointed, and contributed to his later decision to leave military life. In Florence, he wrote his first sketches dealing with his front line experience, collected as La vita militare ("Military Life", 1868). In 1870, he joined the staff of the journal La Nazione in Rome, and his correspondence at the time later served as basis for his travel writings. His Costantinopoli is considered by many his masterpiece and the best description of the city in the 19th century.
