Marcovaldo, or, The seasons in the city1963
(Marcovaldo)
ovvero Le stagioni in città.
by Italo Calvino
A collection of stories 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 phenomena but, at every turn, the city is there to thwart his inclinations.
