(ed.)
An unavoidable name in contemporary fiction and author of classic books such as "The Baron Rampant", "The Demediated Viscount" or "The Invisible Cities", Italo Calvino represents one of the highest peaks of Italian literature. In "Palomar", the last work he published during his lifetime, he offers us a beautiful book of secular meditation, imbued with Western thought, Zen Buddhism, hermeticism, self-parody and a literary substrate as encyclopedic as it is seductive, disguised however as a simple succession of stories. episodic stories strung together by its protagonist, Mr. Palomar, a disillusioned man, aware of the proximity of death, who meditates and contemplates everything around him.
