«El baró rampant» is the novel by Italo Calvino published by Edicions 62 in paperback and in Catalan.
Cosimo Piovasco di Rondó, son of a nobleman, climbs a tree at the age of twelve as a protest and never sets foot on the ground again. From Ombrosa he witnesses the passage of the Enlightenment, the French Revolution and the Restoration; among the branches he lives adventures, loves and encounters with Napoleon, without renouncing his idea of freedom or helping the most disadvantaged.
El baró rampant, originally published in 1957, is the second instalment of the trilogy «Nuestros antepasados» (I nostri antenati). This 1983 edition includes the translation by Maria Aurèlia Capmany.
With its blend of fable, historical narrative and fantasy, «El baró rampant» will appeal to readers of Italian fiction and followers of Italo Calvino.
