The Crow Came Last

About This Novel
There was a "bang", the gunshot sounded, but the crow did not fall... The little people in the chaotic era are nameless but shining, which is heartbreaking and surprising. The children carrying rifles and the German soldiers who witnessed in horror his perfect marksmanship, the guerrillas who fantasized about regaining freedom while being shot on the road, the cunning little Moor who earned fifty liras by renting a mattress for half an hour, the thief and the police who focused on licking cream pastries and forgot about each other... Thirty stories accompany Calvino on his initial literary path, clarifying and defining his poetic world: here is not polluted by anger and boredom, not intensified by conflict, and you can breathe the purest air.
