《爱的教育》的作者亚米契斯（Edmond0 de Amicis）在一八四六年十二月二十一日生于意大利Ligurla州的Oneglia地方。在Cuneo和丘林（Turin）进过学校，后被送入Modena的陆军学校。一八六六年Custozza之战，他加入军队去打仗。在军营中间著了许多短篇小说，在《ItaliaMilitare》上发表，这是他的著作生活的开始。他的《Novel-le》和《Bozze七ti Militari》第一次披露于该杂志时，就博得一时的欢迎。后来印成单行本，卖完了好几版。他因著作事业有望，便脱离军队，专心著述。以丘林为其文字业的大本营，后又漫游世界各地，著成游记多种。其中最著名的是《西班牙》（一八七三）、《荷兰》（一八七四）、《君士坦丁堡》（一八七七）、《摩洛哥》（一八七九）这几部。一九0八年三月十二日因心脏病殁于Bordighera。亚米契斯的最初的作品是倾向于爱国主义的。在他的青年时代正在意大利民族独立战争中。他的最初的作品Novelle》和《Bozzetti Miljtari》即以感时忧国，激动了许多的读者。但他的最好的作品，却都是游记。因为他所最擅长的是景物描写。由美国旅行回国后，他变成了社会主义者，《Sull Oceano》一书便是他发表社会主义的见解的作品。《爱的教育》（原名Coure）在他的作品中间算是销行最广的。而且在意大利学校儿童的读物中间，这一部也要算是最普遍的了。这书的目的，是打算写出儿童中间的友情，不为阶级及社会地位所阻隔的友情。他在这书里把小学生的世界活泼泼地映演在我们眼前了。成人了解儿童的心情本是不可能的事。但读了这几篇日记，谁都要把儿童时代的情感重新唤起。这是亚米契斯的最大成功处。当亚米契斯写这部书时，他的心中便充满了青年之火。所以书内的辞藻与结构虽不讲求，但单是一种情绪就能使读者十分感动了。与《爱的教育》同性质的，更有一部描写友谊的书，叫《Gli Amicio》，是二大册的巨著，也非常动人。collsonm—orley的《近代意大利文学》（Modern ItalJan Literature）341—342页里说：“亚米契斯或者可以算得是最近半世纪来意大利最有名的作家了。他只有些少的创造力，他的作品的结构也很平常，而且他有一个弱点——就是为我们盎格鲁撒克逊人所不大喜欢的伤感的悲观主义。他写得最出色的是书中的几个小人物。他的描写，差不多和照相一般准确，可是又都有生色。他出了许多游记：《La Spagna》，《L’Marocco》，《Ricordi di Lonara》（一八八0年）等。这不过是些印象主义的旅行纪事，因此有人给他一个徽号，叫‘文学的商业旅行家’（讥其旅行之目的专在作游记以赚钱也）。话虽如此，这些游记却又都是滑稽的，有时也略带感动的，会主义者；他对于社会问题的见解，在《Il romanz0 di unmaestfro》（1890），《L’Oceano》（1899）两部书上表现。《LaCarrozza di tutti》是一部长篇的动人的小品集，写电车中所见的丘林风物。亚米契斯自称为马志尼的弟子，他的信仰，他的癖性，都属于马志尼派，在《L’idioma gentile》（1905）一书里，最足表现。他从马志尼学得自然的、单纯的、朴素的作风；这种作风，很受时人的赞赏。”
