Riassunto

THE BOOK: An enchanting collection of stories both melancholy and funny about an Italian peasant's struggle to reconcile country habits with urban life. The stories in Marcovaldo were orginally published in the 1960's when Calvino was writing at the height of his powers and in their telling the reader is captured, delighted, informed, horrified, reprimanded and rewarded and as always with Calvino, nothing in these pieces is ever quite as it seems.
