Arnoldo Mondadori
Italy. Between the 1930s and the 1950s the series offered Italian and foreign fiction; small format collections designated with the adjective “universal” which were not aimed at a “popular” audience but at already trained and educated readers. In this context, Arnoldo Mondadori’s revolution took place, whose publishing house was the only one to already have a strong industrial character. The Mondadori Oscars are born. The first title was released on 27 April 1965. Very low price, circulation on newsstands, weekly releases, captivating illustrations on the cover. Instant success: 210,000 copies sold in one week for Hemingway’s first Oscar A Farewell to Arms . The book becomes an object for everyone.
