«Marcovaldo» is a collection of twenty stories by Italo Calvino, published by Destino Ediciones in paperback (177 pages, in Spanish).
Marcovaldo, a city worker, lives surrounded by asphalt and concrete and seeks traces of nature in everyday life. The twenty stories traverse the cycle of the four seasons five times and combine comedy with a melancholic tone, turning urban episodes into small fables about modern life.
This edition belongs to the Destinolibro collection, number 84, and includes the translation by Juan Ramón Masoliver. The original title of the work is Marcovaldo ovvero le stagioni in città.
For readers of contemporary fiction who appreciate urban fables with humour and melancholy.
