Cover of Italo Calvino: Road to San Giovanni (ePUB)

A collection of five autobiographical essays by one of the masters of Italian literature In these five elegant autobiographical meditations Italo Calvino delves into his past, remembering awkward childhood walks with his father, a lifelong obsession with the cinema and fighting in the Italian Resistance against the Fascists. He also muses on the social contracts, language and sensations associated with emptying the kitchen rubbish and the shape he would, if asked, consider the world. These reflections on the nature of memory itself are engaging, witty, and lit through with Calvino’s alchemical brilliance.Translated from the Italian by Tim Parks
