  • Description

    Marcovaldo is an enchanting collection of stories, both melancholy and funny, about an Italian peasant's struggle to reconcile country habits with urban life. Oblivious to the garish attractions of the town, Marcovaldo is the attentive recorder of natural phenomenon. The reader's heart bleeds for Marcovaldo in his tenacious pursuit of lost domains, but the stories are full of mirth and fun. They lie between farce and fantasy, combining comical disasters with a surrealistic view of city life through the eyes of an outsider-Nothing, as always with Calvino, is quite as it seems. Books and Bookmen.

    Stories & Seasons

    In Marcovaldo, the author has put forward the catharsis in a common man's life, who has left country life for urban living, but in a very light and funny manner. One, at times feels sorry for Marvocaldo, the protagonist, and at times one's heart goes out for him. At times tch-tching is all you can do.
    The most interesting part is the setting. The author has divided the 20 stories in four different seasons. The stories are crisp and canny, and the narration is fluid and lucid.
