Anna Russo was born in Naples, Italy. Her debut as a writer partly came about after she received a major literary prize for travel writing: ''The Next Generation''. As a result of the grant she lived for twelve years in southern France where she became close to the gypsies, particularly two of the "grand" families of Reyes and Baliardo. From this research and collaboration, she wrote two important books, ''Gitani si nasce e si diventa'' (We Are Born and We Become Gypsies) and ''El Cante Flamenco'' (The Flamenco Song), which received support from the Spanish Consulate in Italy and by the Cervantes Cultural Institute. Her meeting with the publisher Salani generated another book, ''La bambina Babilonia'' (The Girl Babilonia), which received great success and was awarded numerous prizes. Following this success, she signed with Einaudi Ragazzi, one of the most respected publishers in Italy. In 2006 she published ''Pao alla conquista del mondo'' (Pao Conquers the World), and in 2007, ''Caro Hamid, fratello lontano'' (Dear Hamid, Distant Brother). They represent a decisive turn in the poetics and direction of this author. In 2008 she published ''Ibrahim, il bambino del campo'' (Ibrahim, a Boy in the Field / The Secret Story of Ibrahim). In 2009 she published ''Il baffo del dittatore'' (The Dictator's Moustaches) with Mursia editore. In 2010 ''Caro Hamid, fratello lontano'' (Dear Hamid, Distant Brother) won the Stefany Gay-Taché Award. In 2010 she published ''Chuang Tse e il primo imperatore'' (Chuang Tse and the First Emperor) with Alacran editore. She lives in Rome. == Works == *''Gitani si nasce e si diventa'' Stampa alternativa 2003 *''El cante flamenco'' Stampa Alternativa 2004 *''La bambina Babilonia'' Salani 2005 *''Pao alla conquista del mondo'' Einaudi r. 2006 *''Caro Hamid, fratello lontano'' Einaudi r. 2007 *''Ibrahim, a Boy in the Field'' Fatatrac 2008 *''Il baffo del dittatore'' Mursia 2009 *''The Dictator's Moustaches'' Mursia 2009 *''Chuang Tse e il primo imperatore'' Alacran 2010 *''Chuang Tse and the First Emperor'' Alacran 2010 *''Seven Billion'' Smashwords 2011 *''Pao Conquers the World'' A new life 2012 *''The Secret Story of Ibrahim'' A new life 2012 *''Barattolo'' A new life 2012 *''Alfabeto Magico'' A new life 2012 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Anna Russo」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
