DON CAMILLO #3
El camarada don Camilo:
Molto tempo prima di Berlinguer, nella Bassa Padana, il compagno e capocellula Peppone ha immaginato un modo tutto suo di fare il Compromesso Storico. Ha per odiato-amato interlocutore, avversario, affettuosissimo velenosissimo nemico don Camillo, parroco d'eccentrica ma genuina religiosità che, anche lui in modo tutto suo, ha immaginato qualcosa di molto simile alla Strategia dell'Attenzione nei confronti dei comunisti. Peppone e don Camillo si scontrano e confrontano, tentano di continuo <>, si fanno reciprocamente tiri birboni, lottizzano poteri paesani, organizzano faide, intrighi, vendette e ricatti all'insegna di un'irresistibile, ilare, fondamentalmente onesta, bonaria, esilarante e irriducibile Coesistenza Competitiva: ciascuno per la vittoria e la maggior gloria dei rispettivi ideali e interessi (che sotto sotto non sono poi tanto divergenti come entrambi credono. Il compagno don Camillo, a parte l'ironica prefigurazione dei sempre più curiosi rapporti (storici) fra Chiesa, PCI e DC in Italia, è in assoluto un capolavoro dell'umorismo e della satira di costume: è un libro che è stato tradotto in quasi tutte le lingue del mondo e ha divertito milioni di lettori, tra cui Giovanni XXIII, Mario Alicata e Krusciov...

I love Don Camillo. And Peppone. And Smilzo. And the way Christ talks to Don Camillo. I first found Don Camillo stories when I was quite young and am so happy to re-find him years later. I wish the books were more readily available because I think there's a whole new generation who need to be introduced to these to frenemies from Italy. They're wonderful stories!

Ormai è nota a tutti la mia passione per Guareschi e in particolare per i suoi due personaggi più celebri, Peppone e Don Camillo, eppure, in questo particolare caso, non posso tacere il mio disappunto. Un disappunto travestito da introduzione. L'autore fa una breve introduzione, intitolata "Istruzioni per l'uso", in cui si lancia in un'accusa all'Italia dell'epoca -1963-. Guareschi è allarmato perché gli Italiani sono ormai diventati un popolo di obiettori di coscienza, di negristi e antinazionalisti, vittime del cinema neorealista e di una letteratura social-sessuale di sinistra (sto citando le parole usate dall'autore). Egli non vuole assistere inerme alla venuta del rosso anticristo ma lo combatte pubblicando il libro e dedicandolo ai soldati americani morti in Corea e ai soldati Italiani morti in Russia. Sono l'unica a cui è saltata la mosca al naso leggendo questo sproloquio? Si tratta forse di sarcasmo non colto? Il mio primo impulso animale è stato quello di allontanare il libro e di chiudere il mio idillio ma omnia vincit amor per cui, con un malessere generale, ho proseguito la lettura.
Specifico che il mio astio deriva dal fetore bigotto-basabanchi (termine con cui si tende a definire persone di chiesa dalla mentalità particolarmente ristretta e spesso molto ipocrite), cioè una delle peggiori caratteristiche che una persona possa avere, con l'aggravante del lavaggio del cervello, tant'è che mi aspettavo una scena di compagni sovietici di fronte ad un banchetto a base di cucciolo di umano. Scommetto che Giovannino non avrebbe creduto all'evoluzionismo e avrebbe curato la peste con tre ave maria e un sorso di vino bianco.
Il mio fastidio per ciò che ho letto nell'introduzione è ancora forte ma non posso, non voglio giudicare le persone per il proprio pensiero -altrimenti farei il loro stesso gioco- per cui cercherò di andare oltre. (Gli ho comunque dato una simbolica bacchettata sulle mani togliendogli una stellina #thuglife).
Passiamo oltre.
A differenza dei primi due, questo libro non è composto da episodi a sé stanti ma da una vera e propria storia, con un inizio ed una fine, incentrata sul viaggio nei territori dell'URSS da parte di dieci eletti del partito comunista italiano tra cui Don Camillo nei panni del compagno Camillo Tarocci. Mi è mancato il paese della Bassa con i suoi personaggi ma è stato comunque un buon libro, ben scritto, divertente e pungente q.b. E poi i disegnini di Guareschi sono la ciliegina sulla torta!
Da leggere. È un ordine ma mi ringrazierete.
(Magari evitate l'introduzione, se non volete guastarvi il sangue.)

Don Camillo and his antics are very amusing. He does seem to have a devil sitting on his shoulder stirring the pot.
He is part of a group on a trip to Russia with other Italian communists hosted by Peppone. He wiggles his way into the crowd in disguise. Don Camillo feels a responsibility to be a religious leader. Peppone is shocked by the way Don Camillo becomes the life of the Party.
Throughout the book the Don Camillo often consults with Christ on the Crucifix for help and guidance. You get to witness these amusing conversations. Christ offers direction to Dom Camillo. Christ gentle reprimands Don Camillo’s intolerance. The constant bickering between the Priest and the Communist Senator makes it a witty and enjoyable to read.
I hope to get to read the rest of the series!

Though I am neither Catholic nor Italian, I feel a closeness to this book -- this novel especially, but all the collected stories in the series -- and wish I could impart to everyone just how wonderful this novel and its message are.
Actually this book is also collected stories but together they create a narrative of one story, different from the other books by Guareschi.
At one time, he was THE largest-selling author in Italian, surpassing even Dante. Maybe he still is, but I fear that his positive sense of life, not to mention his Catholicism, and especially his anti-communism, will have relegated him to that proverbial trash heap.
Instead, the popular authors of today wallow in cynicism and violence, which is why they're popular, and why they are promoted by the pop media.
And a Guareschi is diminished.
Let me repeat: His stories are wonderful. His characters are wonderful. His settings are wonderful.
Oh, there are some dramatic moments of heart-breaking sorrow, especially his story of the wheat, but Guareschi and his characters know that life is not about sorrow and tragedy, even if both are parts of life.
Guareschi apparently believed in Catholic teachings of life and after-life that I don't, but I will forever be grateful his books are available, sometimes even online.
I just wish I could find his cartoons, especially the one of the character with three nostrils, which drawing got him threatened by the Antifa of his day. Some, maybe most, of his stories are illustrated with one of his drawings, but that paucity just makes me all the more want to see the rest.
I cannot stress too much the extent to which I love and recommend all the works of Guareschi, but "Comrade Don Camillo" is, I think, his best.

Biz Türkiye'de mizahın hayata Sol'dan bakmasına, mizahçıların da solcu, hatta sosyalist, komünist olmalarına alışkınız. Memleket sathında Sağ'ın herhangi bir kesiminin bırakın mizahçı olmasına, doğru dürüst espri yaptığına dahi şahit olmadık.
Giovanni Guareschi'nin ise Sol ile herhangi bir bağının olmamasını geçtim, Anti-Komünist ve hatta bir ara "Monarşist " olduğunu düşünecek olursak, Türkiye koşullarında mizahçı olmasını da beklememeliyiz. Ama gelin görün ki kazın ayağı hiç de öyle değil. Guareschi çok iyi bir yazar ve mizahçı olmakla kalmıyor, Türkiye'deki Sağ kesimde neredeyse hiç bulunmayan vicdan, etik, ötekine saygı gösterme, kendimizden olmayanlarla birarada yaşama isteği gibi bir dizi demokratik değeri de hazmetmiş bir uslupla oldukça güzel hikayeler yazıyor, daha doğrusu yazmış. Bunu yaparken de tabi ki bol bol mizah yapıyor, dalga geçiyor, hem nalına hem de mıhına vuruyor.
"Don Camillo Moskova'da", 1962 yılında İtalya'dan Sovyetler Birliği'ne düzenlenen yarı resmi yarı turistik bir geziye katılan bir grup İtalya Komünist Partisi üyesi ve onların arasına "bir şekilde" sızan Don Camillo'nun altı gün süren maceralarını anlatıyor. Herhangi bir ipucu tabi ki vermeyeceğim ama sadece şunu yazayım: Kitap, özelde olayların geçtiği dönemden 30 yıl sonra tarihe karışacak SSCB ve Sovyet insanı, genelde de Komünistlerin mülkiyet, dindarlık ve küçük çıkarlar bahislerinde yaşadıkları ve çok da başarılı olamadıkları "sınavlar" hakkında son derece keskin ve isabetli gözlem ve çıkarımlarda bulunuyor. Bunları yaparken de hem mizah çizgisini asla kaybetmiyor hem de bayağı bir Anti-Komünizme kesinlikle düşmüyor.
Eğer SSCB bugün hala var olsaydı, yazarın kurgu ve argümanlarına belirli rezervlerle beraber "Sağcı zırvaları" deyip geçenler kuşkusuz olurdu ama hayat tam da kitabın anlattığı rotada şekillendi. Sırf bu nedenle dahi yazılmasından çok sonra bile olsa hala okunmayı hak ediyor.

Li para aplacar alguma nostalgia, porque conheci o Dom Camilo quando criança - mas só serviu para aumentá-la.
São os mesmos confrontos de hoje, os mesmos de 1920, os mesmos de 1879: os conservadores e os progressistas (na época, comunistas). Mas há no livro, ou havia na época, um pouco mais de boa-fé e de confiança mútua; havia um bem-comum como objetivo dos dois lados.
Hoje, mal há dois lados: que escritor teria coragem de colocar um padre que fala com Jesus, como o herói da história?
E o último parágrafo é quase profético: "Era um dia de inverno, e um bruma vinda do rio encobria o fim desta história recém-terminada, que já era mais antiga que o tempo".

Camillo Tarocci was a partisan fighter during World War II. Now he's a priest in a small Italian town, constantly butting heads with Peppone, another partisan fighter turned Communist mayor. When Peppone wins ten million lira in a lottery (an unseemly amount for a member of the Party), Don Camillo helps him to keep it a secret. In return, the priest forces Peppone to take him with other Italian Party members on a tour of the USSR, where he hopes to win souls back to the church. As an added bonus, Don Camillo talks to Jesus--and Jesus talks back.
It's an enjoyable, if very dated book. A working knowledge of history will certainly help, but the translated prose is clear and readable, and makes it easy to get into the story. Don Camillo's relationship with Peppone is the core conflict of the story and makes for hilarious reading. There's also quite a few genuinely touching moments in the story that warmed the coal black heart of this agnostic, including the climactic miracle of faith on a storm-tossed sea. In addition, Guareschi shares King Missile's opinion of Jesus--who by far the nicest and sanest person in the story.

Giovanni Guareschi's writing is humorous in translation from Italian to English, but the cultural differences on the topics of Communism vs Catholicism are less relevant Americans. It is entertaining to imagine a group of ten Italian communists on an official visit to Russia. What's funnier is the village priest has been recruited to go, but must pretend to be a secular communist.

Touching, tragic and triumphant
I had read the little world of Don Camello many years earlier and had no idea that this book existed. In it The country priest steps far outside his comfort zone and is rewarded with many Adventures and opportunities for service. I loved it!

For more of my thoughts on the Bookseries look at my Review of Don Camillo, and Peppone.
The Novel starts whit a instruction manual, a foreword.
There he rants about the economic miracle, the anti-nationalists, the war service denier, the people who learned to accept People of Color.
He glorifies the last war, defends the actions of America in Korea, and laments the uncertain fait of the Italian Soldiers in Russian Custody. Soldiers allied whit the third Reich at the Time.
The first Story revolvs around Peppone winning in Sport Toto, something a Communist souldnt do, considering everyone has to earn what there need by working, not via Luck.
Camillo helps him out, by getting the Money for him, but Peppone gets increasingly more, and more ancious over the Money.
The Story continues in "the Blackmail". Years later, Peppone is now Senator, and has invested his Money in a Priest who turned out to be a fraut.
While he got good Interests back, he did loose a lot of Money, and as revenge tried to use this Story to denounce the Church.
Don Camillo angered by his hypocricy blackmails him whit the potencial Scandal, and manages to secure himselfe a place in the upcomming Trip to Russia.
In "In Camouflage" the Story starts whit Peppones regret over his Political Success.
He misses the simpler Times serving as mear Mayor, beeing a simple Man of many on the Country Side.
Then the Comrate Tarocci got introduces, Camillo in Disguise.
Other Charakters got introduced as well, most nothworthy the Comerate Nanni Scamoggia, a young womanizer.
"Operation Rondella"
The political educational journey meet up whit two Russians, Nadia Petrowna, the interpret, and Yenka Oregow a political functioair who serves as host, and Guide for the Group.
Scamoggia shows interest in Nadia, while Camillo shows interest in Rondella.
Walter Rondella is another italian Comerate and very patriotic, and proud of his own home.
Don Camillo provokes him, by comparing, every bit of Italia to the UDSSR, and claiming everything is much worse at home.
This, and a unimpressive Meal is apparently enougn to anger him enough to leave the Party, and the Expedition. He drives back home, and joins the Opposition.
The Chapters "rest in camp bed", and "the space Cell" are quiet connected and straight forward, and will be summarized together.
Because of a bürokratic Mistake everyone has a free morning. Later that day, Peppone had to buy a overpriced Razor.
Both Plotpoints, and the Soup from the last Chapters are writen as Propaghanda to hint how dysfunctional, and flawed the UDSSR is, and how delusional all this Communists are who glorify it as an Paradise.
Later in "the space Cell" Comerate Bacciga gets denounced by Don Camillo for his unrightfull purchace of a Cloating Item for his Wife. He used Nylon Stockings as payment under the Table, instead of Money, to make a good Trade.
This results in Don Camillo becomming the Leader of a communist Cell.
The Chapter "Politic of Travel", and "Secret Agent Christie" continue the Jorney, by visiting the Kolchose Grevinec, a Farming Facility.
There a little hint towards 93% beeing able to access Electricity, but this one not. Similar to Tintin in the Lande of the Soviet, popular Propaghanda was to assume there all lying.
I have no data on the Economy of the UDSSR, but I doubt there making up so much.
Comerate Tavan is Camillos next Victim. As a Farmer, he is quiet proud of his Land, while the Farmer Class is still one of the strongest conservative, and anti leftist Groups.
He obviously does not take it very well when someone critizises his Class, and he isnt a big fan of the communist doctrin on a State whitout posessions.
Stephan Bordonny gets introduced. A Italian who got captured as a Soldier, and later joined the other Side as a Mechanic.
After a strong weather Outbreak, there got time to talk.
In the process, and because of shenanigans Don Camillo gives his dying Mother the final Sacraments, and baptises all of his Children.
"the consequences of the Rain"
The Road is to muddy to drive, therefor has the traveling Group no choice but to go back to one of the Farms close by. There they decide to well Party.
Peppone gatters some compromising Photos of Camillo, surrounded by Woman.
Furthermore Camillo manages to help out a fellow Italian, who lives as Citizen, but wants to see his Home Country again.
The most emotional Story of the Book might be "the three Corne Tribes".
While Peppone, Camillo, and Comrate Tavan, and Stephan try to repair the Bus.
After a while, Stephen sends them of to visit a Cornfield. The Cornfield was once a Mass Grave for Italian War Prisoners, and is now repurpoused for the Economy.
Tavan, whos Brother died there collects a few small tribes, to give them back to his Family.
I genuinly think I can end my Chapter Summary here.
Another Comrate who felt in Love whit a Girl from that region learns his Girl was executed out of treason. She hide him when he was a Soldier.
Another Comrate give Camillo the compromising Photos, because he didnt want him to have trouble whit his Wife.
The Climax of the Book happens at a sailing Trip. A sudden Storm causes the Group to fear for there Life and cling onto Don Camillo who prays openly for there savety, and basicly blows his cover that way. The Comrate Oregow get so angry at that Process, he looses it, and in selfe defense gets punched neat the railing, where he gets caught by a Wave and drowns.
Nadia flees out of Russia to life in Italia as Scamogias Wife, but because of that betraiyal, both have to leave the Party.
Its a very exiting Adventure, but obviously full of propaghanda.
The Weather is horrible, but thats apparently there fault? Nothing works, the Party treats its Citizens like Slaves, there stingy, and the Food is horrible. Woman Workers are seen as a shamefull Condition, rater then Progress, and the economical Data are full of lies.
I am aware what Stalin, and the People who came before and after him wherent Kittens.
No one sould ever forgett the horrible Crimes against Humanity they inflicted. Stalins Treatment of Ukrain, the treatment of Prisoners of war, ect.
Many People died, got misstreated, and neglected under the UDSSR, but there is causing faitfully awareness of the failures of a Nation, a critizising its Political Elites for there shortcommings, and there is fare right Propaghanda.
Despite that, it is a very entertaining Story. Everyone feels alive, everyone feels like a Person, the Comedy, when its not blatent politically motivated, is quiet good. The regular Russians are not vilified, and it is a nice fluid read.

Comrade Don Camillo by Giovannino Guareschi, author of The Little World of Don Camillo http://realini.blogspot.com/2019/04/t... , one of the 1,000 Novels Everyone Must Read
8 out of 10
If The Little World of Don Camillo is a fine comedy, included on the list of 1,000 Novels Everyone Must Read http://www.theguardian.com/books/2009..., the sequels, prequels and spin offs of the franchise do not seem so enticing, indeed, not even the original World of The Priest looks all that elating, looking back with some insight, it would not do for a second read.
The subject could not be more important, treated with a light touch, as it is, the Don Camillo series are comedies and have been adapted for the big screen http://realini.blogspot.com/2021/09/7... with the mirthful Fernandel in the title role of the intrepid, mischievous, amusing clergy.
We can see this as the eternal dispute between the religious and the atheist, God versus Satan for those who are sure that those two exist and fight each other, upstairs and here, on earth…if for centuries there had been no question on who the winner is, the church could take you down with its Inquisition and I have read a magical novel, winner of the last, 2022 Pulitzer Prize for Literature, The Netanyahus http://realini.blogspot.com/2022/08/t... by effendi Joshua Cohen that gives the reading public a completely new perspective on the Spanish Inquisition
The absolute favorite creator of the past few years is Kingsley Amis, the one who has temporarily toppled Marcel Proust with the indefatigable A La Recherche du Temps Perdu http://realini.blogspot.com/2014/04/l... from the pole position – I mean, yes, Proust is the Divinity, but for a good many years, maybe as many as twelve, I have not read again from the roman fleuve, and in the meantime I have more than twenty works by Amis (a couple from Amis Junior) under my belt – and much of the time, I am reminded of some aphorism of his
Or a quote, like the one about a short dialogue with a Russian poet (maybe this is not true) who asked ‘you atheist’ and Kingsley Amis replied ‘it is not that, it is more that I hate Him’ or something to that effect (Insha’Allah) which might be from The Russian Girl, or One Fat Englishman, but it could just as well come from Ending Up http://realini.blogspot.com/2018/07/e... or another masterpiece...
Wait, I have something that is clearly from Ending up, and has to do with the image of the absurd, preposterous and at the same time the cathartic and hilarious, when one of the characters renders the enormity of a situation, they explain it something like ‘imagine you are at the Ritz (or it could have been another, equally prestigious, exorbitant, dazzling venue) and you order, the waiter comes back and sits to chat with you’ – I started laughing now, as I put this down, which is part of the point of writing all this nonsense, nay, often the only point, as I enjoy the privilege of offering myself rare treats, I am the only reader of an unique manuscript (well, it used to be that, now it is just some fool’s gold on the blogs) and treat myself royally, with access to something that nobody else gets to see…
Evidently, it is posted online, for the world to read and enjoy, but then humanity does not care, this might be corrected in the not too distant future, when Artificial Intelligence will have reached the Singularity stage – explained in the magnificent Why The West Rules For Now by glorious Ian Morris http://realini.blogspot.com/2017/10/w... - when AI will have all the knowledge of humanity, past and present, and the ability to surpass all our minds combined, or something to that effect, a time when this Super Galactic Brain will take all my texts (tens of thousands of them it looks like at times) and all the other and ingest them in record time, with the progress they make, it could be just days until that Superhuman Intelligence takes it all in, anyway, all my ‘productions’ will be consumed in a billionth of a billionth of a second and thus, I will have had my reader
Nathaniel Branden is the author of the quintessential The Six Pillars of Self Esteem, considered a classic, but he has also taken the subject of religion, which is key for our Don Camillo and his misadventures, in The Psychological Effects of Religion http://realini.blogspot.com/2016/04/p... wherein he explains that these effects are all badass
The notion that we have an Almighty Fellow looking over our shoulders all the time, night and day, is in itself horrendous – yes, for the faithful, it works often as a solace, comfort, they feel protected, nut nonetheless, I shudder – and he has this habit of thundering, puffing, and making mischief, striking you down at seventy, for the masturbation you indulged in (self-fornication, what would they call this in their parlance, the lingo talks of self-abuse, if I remember well) for The top Guy never forgets…adjectival, as Peter Carey used to say with munificence in his marvelous, phenomenal The True History of The Kelly Gang http://realini.blogspot.com/2015/11/t... winner of The Booker Prize and a magnum opus without any doubts, adapted for the big screen twice
As for myself, I am hesitating between deism, atheism and it could happen that I become penitent, with age, start repenting and who knows, like the patriarch (played by Magister Ludi Sir Laurence Olivier in the miniseries) in Brideshead Revisited by another outstanding creator, Evelyn Waugh, http://realini.blogspot.com/2021/11/b... honoring the Wager of Pascal, the one that said there are two alternatives, and if you believe in god, you are safe, if he does not exist you will have lost nothing (as aforementioned, Nathaniel Branden begs to differ) while if you reject the faith, think of what happens if he is The top Man Upstairs…there are obviously a number of arguments on both sides, however much the scientific and materialistic view is getting ground, there is that ‘finding the watch, and then realizing it is not just an accident, somebody must have made it ‘and a good many more…meantime, I am trying to find The Absolute Truth, as evidenced here: http://realini.blogspot.com/2022/02/u...

I have each book in the Don Camillo series (I believe) and in Comrade Don Camillo along with The Little World of Don Camillo, you have my favorites. Each of the books in the series have that wonderful, rich, lovely and complex relationship between DC and GB - all wrapped up with life in the Po River Valley ... Comrade Don Camillo though, wraps the relationship up in Guareschi's increasing worry about communism, most directly, with a nod perhaps to Ninotchka! Yes, The Christ, from the cross, still speaks to DC. And, while The Little World of Don Camillo began as a fight, for the author, against the growth of communism in Italy, in Comrade Don Camillo the fight is taken to a different level. The characters are wonderfully human. Never does Guareschi fail to find and to express the sweetness of that humanness and the wonder of life.

Such a fun book! It’s great how Communism was addressed according to its own tenants. I laughed out loud several times throughout the story, which I did try to contain, because I read the first 90 pages in one sitting in a public coffee shop. I was expecting it to be humorous but not laugh-out-loud funny.
On a side note, I read the English version of this; otherwise I would not have gotten very far.

June 13, 2011An adorable look into how people use to see the battle against communism. A priest as a comrade in Russia, told in a tone of Candide. The book is one of several dozen issues in a paper called the Candido and is supposedly responsible for the loss of the Communist party. Funny throughout, though the humor is somewhat dated.

Leí estas historias de Don Camilo cuando estaba en bachillerato. Hace muchos años. Una maravilla. Amenos, graciosos, simpáticos, con mucho humor y fiel reflejo de la bondad de la mayoría de seres humanos.
Me quedaron en mente muchas historias y frases de Don Camilo, Peppone y Scamoggia, entre otros.
Recomendado a quien precise de sonreír en algún momento de su vida.

I was hooked after the first book in the Don Camillo series and have loved each one but this is my favorite. Don Camillo the Catholic priest travels incognito with a group of Italian Communist dignitaries to Russia to see for themselves the glories if Soviet Russia.

September 30, 2007Very well, I have not much to say, the book is indeed the cheapest mockery of soviet union I've ever read.

I loved picturing the twinkle in his eyes as he wrote about the sabotage.

Each book I read it seems as if it is the best. That everyone is filled with the goodness and the scoundrelness is so happily presented.

I have read a number of the Don Camillo series but not this one. The stories in this volume are more connected than in some of the other books but continue the battle between the Priest and his Communist adversary Peppone. In the first story, Don Camillo discovers that the Mayor, and now Senator, has won a local lottery - not something a Communist mayor wants the village to know. In order to keep the priest’s silence, Peppone has to take him, in disguise, on a trip to the USSR where Kruschev is in power but Stalinism still lingers on.
For those of us who still remember the days of the monolithic USSR and the Iron Curtain, there is much fun to be had as Don Camillo teases Peppone and the other Italian Communists and their Russian interpreters and guides. One by one, Don Camillo exposes the weaknesses of the party, resulting in some going home and others rediscovering their faith. The book does get darker in tone as events of WWII are revealed but each tale is enlivened with the usual humour.
Being mainly set in Russia, I missed Don Camillo’s conversations with Jesus in the church, though they do occur at the beginning and the end. Jesus is always putting Don Camillo in his place when he gets too big headed or is seeking revenge and that sense is missing here. It does seem that Camillo goes from victory to victory without that voice of conscience that his chats with the statue provide.
Enjoyable as ever.

Tuli palattua vaihteeksi vanhemman kirjallisuuden pariin. Don Camillon ja Pepponen ikuinen kädenvääntö aatteista ja ideologioista siirtyy tässä kirjassa vaihteeksi pois Italian maaperältä. Peppone pääsee johtamaan innokasta puolueen vierailijaryhmää aina Neuvostoliittoon asti. Hänen harmikseen retkikuntaan soluttautuu mukaan muuan toveri, joka ei ole aivan sitä miltä näyttää. Toveri Camillolla on kuulakärkikynään kätketty krusifiksi ja Leninin puheiksi naamioitu rukouskirja, jota hän innokkaasti tutkiskelee. Matkaan mahtuu monenlaisia ihmiskohtaloita ja nykyvinkkelistä jo historiallista maailmankuvaa.
Pepponen ja Camillon idologiset erimielisyydet on tässäkin kirjassa kuvattu lämminhenkisesti ja ymmärtämyksellä. Ei ehkä ihan parhaasta päästä Camillo-tarinoita, mutta silti todella hauska ja sisältää mielenkiintoista ajankuvaa.

I thought this was a stand-alone book, but it's the third in a series.
It's a fine enough read. The author is a vicious anti-communist, and has a final page titled "notes from the author" where he complains that the people of "today" (1963, in this case) are too soft and have it too well, despite having just described how he played a part in encouraging economic growth after WWII.
There's no information on what the author did during WWII.
The story is good, there are some quite poignant moments (the hidden graveyard, for instance), and the characters are for the most part well-rounded. There are a few that are only mentioned leaving Italy and returning to Italy. I could be tempted to read another book in this series, depending on how the plot is framed.

At first this is a very light read, with Don Camillo a thorn in Comrade Peppone's side and post-Stalinist Russia an easy target for ridicule, but from Chapter 8 ("Christ's Secret Agent") to the end a more serious tone emerges. As a non-European I was struck by how many untold stories there must be from the traumatic experiences of WWII, both for the Russians and the Italians. Guareschi manages to provide an amusing yet meaningful examination of a post-war Italian community whose hope in communism was perhaps ill-advised but understandable...and ultimately forgivable.

Fue una delicia, considero que si no me hubiera tocado vivir en un país que esta regido por el socialismo y por gente que se trata de "camarada" consideraría este libro una exageración y hasta una mofa algo grosera, pero no, Giovannino transmite perfectamente a la sociedad, a las personas y el ambiente, por supuesto con un humor que hace que todo no sea tan deprimente y estresante. Quede encantada con este libro critico pero divertido.

Because I've been reading these books as an omnibus, by this last volume I was beginning to tire of them. But this one, more of a narrative of Camillo's trip to Russia rather than individual stories, was sufficiently different to regain my interest. At times it still dragged a little, but there were some beautiful moments throughout that demonstrated humanity's need for faith, and Don Camillo's sincere dedication to his calling of ministering to seeking souls.

"Comrade Don Camillo" is a delightful and humorous collection of stories written by Giovanni Guareschi. Set in a small Italian village in the post-World War II era, the book follows the adventures of Don Camillo, a Catholic priest, and Peppone, the local Communist mayor. The reader will constantly laugh while reading the book. A must read. - one can read it many times. there are other books too by this author with the same characters :)

Como siempre don Camilo no defrauda. Con ese estilo ágil y entretenido narra la aventura del sacerdote por tierras rusas en compañía de peppone. Tal vez se echa un poco de menos esas conversaciones más frecuentes que tiene con el Cristo de la parroquia en cada capítulo de los otros dos libros. Aún así no pierde la gracia ni la fina ironía y regala algunos episodios que llegan a conmover.

Le mirabolanti avventure del Compagno Don Camillo sono, come tutti i libri che ho letto fino ad ora di Guareschi, piccoli capolavori della letteratura italiana che sanno emozionarmi sempre partendo dal riso, arrivando al pianto e viceversa.
Perfetta descrizione di un passato inventato, ma molto simile a ciò che è realmente stato.
Grazie Giovannino Guareschi❤️
