Description:
New York: Harcourt Brace, 1983. First Printing of the First US Edition. A Fine tight copy in a Fine bright dust jacket. Marcovaldo is a collection of twenty short stories structured to represent the yearly seasonal cycle five times. The series depicts the life of a poor rural man with his family living in a big industrial city in northern Italy. The central character Marcovaldo has an affinity with nature and a distaste with city life. In each story Marcovaldo succumbs to something that appears natural and beautiful but actually disappoints him. Calvino addresses several themes in the stories including pollution, appearance vs. reality, failure, poverty and consumerism.
