    About this ebook

    Italian literary superstar Niccolò Ammaniti’s debut novel, I’m Not Scared, prompted gushing praise, hit international best-seller lists, and was made into a smash indie film. With his highly anticipated follow-up, Ammaniti takes his unparalleled empathy for children, his scythe-sharp observations, and his knack for building tension to a whole new level. In a tiny Italian village, a young boy named Pietro is growing up tormented by bullies and ignored by his parents. When an aging playboy, Graziano Biglia, returns to town, a change is in the air: Pietro decides to take on the bullies, his lonely teacher Flora finds romance with the town’s prodigal son, and the inept janitor at the school proclaims his love for his favorite prostitute. But the village isn’t ready for such change, and when Graziano seduces and forgets Flora, both she and Pietro’s tentative hopes seem crushed forever. With great tenderness, Ammaniti shines light on the heart-wrenching failures and quiet redemptions of ordinary people trying to live extraordinary lives. I’ll Steal You Away is a fresh and classic story of a boy learning to be a man that delivers on the promise of Ammaniti’s acclaimed debut.

    Niccolò Ammaniti

    Niccolò Ammaniti (Roma, 1966) es la gran figura literaria italiana de su generación, alabado por la crítica, galardonado con el Strega y el Viareggio, los premios más prestigiosos, con incontables lectores y traducido a 44 lenguas. Entre sus novelas destacan Te llevaré conmigo y No tengo miedo, que serán recuperadas próximamente por Anagrama. De él se ha escrito: "Está en lo más alto del muy fecundo y brillante grupo de jóvenes escritores de nuestros días" (Renato Barilli); "Un talento extraordinario, el escrito más versátil" (Antonio d'Orrico); "La nueva palabra italiana para el talento es Ammaniti" (The Times); "Ammaniti ha creado un retrato convincente de la Italia contemporánea, y ha aportado un necesario contrapeso a los retratos románticos y turísticos del país. Y aun así, a pesar de la dureza de su mundo, el calor humano burbujea entre sus grietas. Preferiría perderme en el mundo alienado de Ammaniti que en muchos otros" (Matthew Kneale, Financial Times); "Ammaniti es un escritor de una gran imaginación y una notable sutileza moral" (Times Literary Supplement).
