«Il cavaliere inesistente» is the novel by Italo Calvino published by Garzanti in paperback (134 pages, in Italian).
Set in the age of Charlemagne, it narrates the adventures of Agilulfo, a knight who exists only inside his armour thanks to his will. The nun Teodora recounts this adventure with irony, in an absurd world where identity and the meaning of existence are examined with philosophical depth.
Third instalment of the trilogy «I nostri antenati», together with «Il visconte dimezzato» and «Il barone rampante». Originally published in 1959; this edition belongs to the «Gli elefanti» collection.
For readers of Italian classics and fantasy fiction with a philosophical undertone.
