Immerse yourself in the world of Marcovaldo, an endearing character created by Italo Calvino. Through twenty stories, each dedicated to a season of the year, Calvino presents us with a man in search of nature in the middle of the city. However, the nature he finds is a distorted version compromised with artificial life. Marcovaldo is a buffoonish and melancholic character, a 'Man of Nature' exiled in the industrial city. Is this a book for children, young people, or adults? Rather, it is a reflection on Calvino's perplexed and questioning relationship with the world.
Italo Calvino was an Italian novelist and short story writer. His best-known works include the Our Ancestors trilogy (1952–1959), the Cosmicomics collection of short stories (1965), and the novels Invisible Cities (1972) and If on a winter's night a traveler (1979).
