Marcovaldo, ovvero le stagioni in città
Italo Calvino William Weaver
overview
Marcovaldo is an unskilled worker in a drab industrial city in northern Italy. He is an irrepressible dreamer and an inveterate schemer. Much to the puzzlement of his wife, his children, his boss, and his neighbours, he chases his dreams - but the results are never the ones he had expected. Translated from the Italian by William Weaver.
