Francesco D’Adamo, a Milanese, has been writing for years about the complicated world in which we live expressly for those he likes to call, “adults who are temporarily at the most about 13 to14 years of age.”
Among his successes are Iqbal (winner of the Premio Cento; Aladdin, 2005 in the USA and published worldwide, also made into a film), My Brother Johnny (Aurora Metro Press, 2008), and The Story of Ishmael Who Crossed the Sea. His novels have been translated all over the world.
