La riscoperta di un grande classico, che chiunque sia stato a scuola in veste di scolaro o di insegnante dovrebbe conoscere; l’ascoltatore potrà agevolmente riconoscersi in uno degli alunni, perché i ritratti deamicisiani hanno i caratteri dell’universalità; uno spaccato di umanità italiana dopo l’unità. Un altro testo erroneamente considerato solo per ragazzi in quanto istruttivo per tutti. Adatto a: tutti; in particolare: agli appassionati della storia d’Italia, a tutti coloro che sono attenti alle sfumature psicologiche dei personaggi, perché da esse possano ricavare il ritratto della nazione che siamo diventati.
