Written with great love for children, the book “Heart” by the Italian writer Edmondo De Amicis (1846–1908) belongs to outstanding works of children’s world literature. It is the diary of a boy from Italy in the second half of the 19th century, who studies in the same class with both rich and poor children, and begins not only to love his friends, but also to respect those whose knowledge comes with great difficulty. “Heart” has been translated into 25 languages and is enjoyed reading by both children and adults.
