The Education of Love (or translated Heart) by the Italian novelist De Amicus (1846-1908) is a close-up collection describing the life of teenagers. By describing all kinds of touching stories that happened around Enrico, a fourth-grade pupil, it reflects the poor life and honest, frank and friendly character of the middle and lower classes in Italy, and advocates the spirit of patriotism, kindness, courage, generosity, selflessness and fraternity. Every chapter and section in the book shows "love" incisively and vividly. Whether writing about love for the country, society and nation, or expressing love for parents, teachers and friends, it is gripping and touching everywhere. The education of love is actually quality education, which is the basis of enlightening children on how to be a person and other qualities. "Education of Love" writes down children's life and thoughts in the form of a diary, with children's tone and brush strokes. Reading and writing are true and intimate, so they are more easily accepted by children. Although this book is mainly written for students aged nine to thirteen, it is also a useful educational classic for parents, teachers and children.
The book has been selling well for more than 100 years, and has been adapted into comics, movies and cartoons for many times, which is loved by readers all over the world.
