Transforming popular fiction into literary classics, the reception of the adventure novels of Emilio Salgari (1862-1911) was, and is, an extraordinary cultural phenomenon. These four illustrated volumes aim to present – and demythologize – all aspects of his popularity, including the roles of the press, editions, illustrators, translations, and adaptations (theatre, cinema, comics). The first volume, concerning Salgari’s lifetime, provides new information on his many publishers, identifies the writer’s sources, and describes the evolution of his writing and its impact.
