The Baron in the Trees (calvino Centenary Edition)

About This Novel

Twelve-year-old Cosimo angrily left home and lived in a tree because he couldn't stand the snail meal cooked by his sister. From then on, his feet never set foot on the ground again: he read, hunted, put out fires, fought against pirates, and even fell in love and wrote in the trees. His tombstone is inscribed: "Living in the trees - always loving the earth - rising into the sky." Part one of the trilogy "Our Ancestors", including Calvino's own postscript: In "The Baron in the Trees" there is a path to wholeness - a non-individualistic wholeness achieved through unswerving efforts to make one's own choices.
