«Marcovaldo ou as estacións na cidade» is a collection of short stories by Italo Calvino, published by Edicións Xerais in paperback (216 pages, in Galician).
Twenty stories, five for each season of the year, follow Marcovaldo, an unskilled worker and father of a large family who, in an industrial city, looks for signs of natural life among the asphalt and dreams of returning to nature; his hopes clash again and again with urban reality and end in disappointment.
Translated into Galician by Silvia Gaspar; the original work was published in 1963 as «Marcovaldo, ovvero le stagioni in città».
Recommended for readers aged 14 and over and for young people interested in Italian narrative and in children's and young adult literature in Galician.
