English Summary/英文概要： My name is Teo. I am eight years old and I want to meet Napoleon. I have a very important battle to win and he is the only one who can help me. But since Napoleon is dead, in order to meet him, I’ll have to die too.
Teo is eight years old and all he wants is a happy family. His parents fight all the time and their every battle is a lost one that ends in slammed doors and tears. So when Teo’s father gives him a book for his birthday, The Adventures of Napoleon, the boy becomes convinced that this great strategist, winner of all wars, holds the key. But Napoleon is dead, which means that he will have to join him. But where and how?
Teo begins to bombard the adults in his life with questions that will help him identify his next strategic move. He needs to fully understand how life and death work, why God is silent, how to fly to heaven, and how hot it is in Hell. Napoleon surely holds all the answers and in order to find out, Teo is ready to meet him on the other side…or at least half way. Luckily, Teo will discover that sometimes the answers come in the most unexpected ways.
The charming and philosophical story of a child obsessed with life’s bigger questions, for readers of Sam Savage and Muriel Burbery.

Twenty six year old Lorenza Gentile‘s first novel, TEO, is the delicate and heartbreaking novel of how a child discovers that becoming an adult means becoming fearful, fragile and a liar; at the same time however, he also learns that when you are committed to what you believe with courage and loyalty, love triumphs.----La Stampa, May 31, 2014
“Teo, eight years old and already a little Napoleon”:
The protagonist of Lorenza Gentile’s first novel TEO, just published by Einaudi, is acute, curious, sensitive, and as small as his heart is big.

“The world through Teo’s eyes”:
Teo will make you laugh and reflect. He reminds us of what the world looks like through a child’s eyes. ----Caterina Soffici , Italian journalist
