Smoke Argentine Ant

About This Novel

"Smoke: Argentine Ants" collects Calvino's two important novellas "Smoke" and "Argentine Ants". This is because they echo each other in a structural and moral sense. "Smoke" uses the style of a sociological essay or a secret diary to present the image and ideographic symbol of the world that people in modern industrial society face: smoke. The smoke of chemical waste that permeates industrial cities is omnipresent, elusive but oppressing mankind with unmistakable and terrifying power. In "Argentine Ants", the little rampant ants destroy all people's dreams and turn life into a painful swamp, which concretely embodies the disasters faced by modern society.
