Like all kids who have come close to reading in adolescence, I started with Dickens , Mark Twain, Jules Verne, Luigi Motta Salgari that was a low-key. Then of course Emilio Salgari and many others. Often these handouts to bind, as the 150 series of Three-Boy Scouts of Jean de la Hire, a French writer of great imagination and I had read one of the first science fiction books I had encountered in your hands: The wheel blazing.
Then my brother gave me a series of exemptions to the giant size, with colorful covers. They were the dispensations Nick Carter, Petrosino, Lord Lister (Raffles) . Among publishers, there was the legendary Nerbini of Florence.
But Sonsogno Dardo and the number of El Coyote, a kind of Zorro, which marked his enemies with his whip, but with the gun, aiming at the lobe of the ear ... I recently found out that the its author, Jose Mallorqui was a great writer who has signed a lot of western movies over the years late '50s and early '60s.
Della Sonsogno I still have lots of books in a series of red paperback. In this series of books triumphed Zane Gray set in the west, but also books like "The Four Feathers " by AEW Mason which recently presented on TV an edition of the film. That series was full of great authors. From Conan Doyle (Sherlock Holmes without), the Baroness Orkzy , that of the Scarlet Pimpernel, in Gaston Leorux to Rafael Sabatini (Captain Blood to ) and Jack London ( Martin Eden and others). When in the markets of used books I find some of that volume series, I did not let slip. Even the original books on Tarzan, Edgar Rice Burroughs of which I also read some of the novel series of cards John r with adventures taking place on Mars. They were published by Giunti Bemporad Marzocco. Incidentally, when I read some articles about the life of Burroughs, I discovered a really interesting surprise.
