Marcovaldo (calvino Centenary Edition)
About This Novel
This Marcovaldo has a pair of eyes that are not very suitable for urban life: signs, traffic lights, shop windows, wide rainbow lights, propaganda posters, those things that are designed to attract attention, have never been able to retain Marcovaldo's eyes. He looks at these things as if he were scanning the sand in the desert. As the seasons pass, Marcovaldo uses his ingenuity to make wonderful observations about the world. He can interact and play with mushrooms and migratory birds, and he can also take his children to get lost and sigh in the consumerist supermarket. "It was the silence that woke him up that morning when it snowed." This is Calvino's last love poem dedicated to the city. In the lightness and color, we find more things to look forward to.
