Just don't fall for the Foscolo meme it's trash. Or maybe read it so that I'm not the only one to have read him on this board.

All of Salgari's work.
He was a poor man.
Wrote countless books.
He was a good man, deserved better.
Read one of his, and have a toast on his momory.
I think the dude would have like that.

He was a poor man, and wrote a lot of books.
He was a good man, so read him, and have a toast in his honor.
