Pubblicato nel 1886, Cuore di Edmondo De Amicis è uno dei libri più celebri della letteratura italiana per l’infanzia e uno dei testi che maggiormente hanno contribuito a formare l’immaginario scolastico e civile dell’Italia postunitaria.

Il poema è diviso in tre parti, chiamate «cantiche» (Inferno, Purgatorio e Paradiso), ognuna delle quali composta da 33 canti (tranne l'Inferno, che contiene un ulteriore canto proemiale) formati da un numero variabile di versi, fra 115 e 160, strutturati in terzine.

Candide by Voltaire. Candide is the story of a gentle man who, though pummeled and slapped in every direction by fate, clings desperately to the belief that he lives in "the best of all possible worlds." On the surface a witty, bantering tale, this eighteenth-century classic is actually a savage, satiric thrust at the philosophical optimism that proclaims that all disaster and human suffering is part of a benevolent cosmic plan. Fast, funny, often outrageous, the French philosopher's immortal narrative takes Candide around the world to discover that — contrary to the teachings of his ...
