«Marcovaldo» is the short story collection by Italo Calvino, published by Edicions 62 in the Butxaca series (160 pages, in Catalan).
The book collects twenty stories featuring Marcovaldo, a naive man who seeks to carve out a habitable space within the city, portrayed as an arid desert. Each tale is dedicated to a season of the year and combines fantasy and irony to offer an alternative view of the urban environment and a critique of a world that does not let people live freely.
Work written in Turin in 1963. Belongs to the Butxaca series of Edicions 62.
